We've seen some great gadgets and equipment for designers. So many cool stuff, that we could actually assemble infinite perfect office spaces! Every week we'll assemble a perfect office, and we'd like you to help us. What equipment would the perfect office have?
Not only gadgets and equipment, but also furniture, sound system, gaming stuff (for lunch time!). A designer is totally allowed to dream with the perfect office, and that's what we're gonna do here! Comment telling us your suggestions, or even better, you may tell us via twitter (mine and fabio's), using #abdz_ofc so we can check it. Alright? I hope you guys enjoy this brief selection. Cheers! ;)
CHAIR by Benjamin Claessen
Inspired by car design and with a love for furniture Claessen decided to research the car design development process. This whole process was then used to design a series of chairs. The approach from another angle resulted in a series of chairs that have a very expressive form language. (via Design Spotter)

Ariston Built-in Coffee Center
Whether you're upgrading the office or doing a dream kitchen makeover, the Ariston Built-in Coffee Center ($2,150-$2,260) will make a fine addition. This in-wall brewing system can dispense cups of coffee, espressos, cappuccinos, lattes, teas, or just plain ol' hot waters two at a time thanks to dual heating elements. Each drink can be customized with a turn of a dial, and the built-in LED display lets you keep an eye on the action, all for the price of 600 or so White Chocolate Mochas. (via Uncrate)
Elecom Magnetic Card Reader
Rather than placing it on your desk, it comes with a magnetic backing which lets you attach it to the side of your PC or any metal surface. It looks like it will support the majority of memory cards including, SD, microSD and Memory Stick Duo, and it will come in a range of funky colors. (via Geeky Gadgets)
JVC XS-SR3 iPod Dock
The JVC XS-SR3, a new docking station from JVC can take either mini, nano, photo, video, classic and touch and has 2 2.5w cradle speakers with analog and digital external input. Its also claims that its the first iTheatre speaker system with built in Dolby decoder. With its neat holding cradle you can swivel your iTouch to view movies or vertical for app use. Unfortunately and a big mistake in my opinion its not iPhone friendly for some reason. With the external input socket you can also use it for portable TVs, DVD players or gaming system.

Logitech Notebook Kit
Laptops are quickly becoming the de facto computing tool, but due to their portable designs, they're not always the best when it comes to ergonomics. That's where the Logitech Notebook Kit ($100) steps in. Including a compact wireless keyboard with number pad, a pivoting stand to help raise the screen to eye-level, and a comfortable wireless laser mouse, the Kit is an all-in-one solution for laptop users.

Nokia Booklet 3G with Windows 7
The Booklet 3G sent to Engadget Spanish is configured with Windows 7 Home Premium -- a more suitable companion for this premium netbook... an oxymoron, we know. See the full unboxing video after the break and a picture paella just beyond the read link. And hey, feel free to dance along if so moved -- nobody's watching 'cept the robots. (via Engadget)
