We spend most of our life in a small and squeezed space, because most of us work in offices that are not bigger than 2 x 2 meters or, if we are lucky, 3 x 3 meters, so we should make the best of this situation by adding a touch of luxury and great design to our cubicles.
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
The coolest cubicles are unfortunately just concept designs, but we hope that the companies we work for take them in consideration in the near future. For example, Studio 54 designed by Steelcase wants to be a comfortable and stylish meeting place at the office, where everyone could meet and talk or just gather to find a little privacy. This conceptual design is used today in some companies and we thing that everyone would want a comfortable and cozy place within an office.
One of the
coolest cubicles designs was made by Google Zurich. What is great about this design is the fact that it transforms the boring cubicles is a special place for each employee. This office design is very motivational, creative and dynamic and it the same time is an open space, so no one will feel crowded in here. This design was made by combining ideas form 350 employees and by letting truly amazing innovations surrounding the workspace.
The idea was to create a highly functional, but also large and individual workspace. The workspace has also meeting places and communal areas, so no one feels alone and abandoned. This is a great design for a great office environment.
The next
cool cubicle won the Coolest Cubicle showdown in 2008 and it is called the War cubicle. If you want to transform your boring cubicle in to something special, maybe this cubicle design will give you some ideas. The cubicle looks like a secret place that hides many secrets and weapons. OK, we are kidding, because the only thing that this cubicle hides is the employee and he’s computer, but it looks great.
If you want to make an extreme makeover to your cubicle, you should try a luxurious look. You can start with an executive office chair and don’t stop there, because you also need a nice carved desk, red mahogany luxury paneling, and great dark cherry hardwood floor. You also need a cool pear of headphones, a bid monitor display and a laptop. This is not a dream, because the men in the picture below actually redesigned its cubicle by giving it a brand new luxurious look.
The next design is for those of you who like to have more privacy at the office and it is called the House on the table. This cubicle was designed by Soojin Hyun creating a desk that which combines interior lighting, look-out portals, four walls, ceiling and bookshelves all for your privacy.

No matter if you are a gadget hunter, or you just want a special present for your friend’s birthday, I think that UsefulThings can help you. This website offers a range of gadgets, which can be purchased for personal use, but very good offered as gifts too.
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
UsefulThings, as the name suggests also, is an online shop where you can find a lot of useful items, for house, office, travel, kitchen. The special thing is that all of these objects have something different from the common version of the same object. Even if the difference is about the color, the shape or it has an improvement, I think that these items are special in their own way. You can find objects which make the place you live in more friendly, or they add a crazy note to your office. You can also find funny useful kitchen gadgets too. These items are great gifts for gadget fans, who want to have strange and useful (not all the time useful) things.
The best thing about these items you can buy on
UsefulThings is that they can be offered to a wide range of people, beginning with your friends and family, and in last instance, you can find a cosy and elegant present even for your boss.
Personally, I would like to have in my house or in my office a Conceal Bookshelf, because it is such an elegant solution for storing books. I think you can place there all types of books, but if you have that shelf next to the sofa or the place where you spend some relaxation time, you can place there your favorite books, or those you are currently reading.
Another interesting item is the Glass Measuring Cup, which on one hand shows the quantities and their values, and on the other hand brings some interesting facts in front of our chef eyes. If have ever wondered how much 5,000 drops of water is, you can easily find out with this measuring cup. It’s cool and geeky!
Check out their products, and let us know which one you liked most!

If you like photography, and especially if you like exposing images around, then you might want a special type of frame for your cool photographs. GrowFrame is the latest concept of photo frames, and it is an innovative idea which allows you to expose images grouping them somehow. The frames are made of wood and they can stick together due to a magnetic insertion, which is invisible, and actually, the whole sticking process is described by the producers as…magic.
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
This concept allows you placing photos in new forms and new places in your house or office. If you don’t have, for example, a picture with all your friends together, you can put an image of a friend in one frame, and then “stick” them together so you can have a group photo.
There are three main types of grow frames: squares, standard and panoramic frames. Each square can hold a 2.5x 2.5 inch photograph, and I could say this is the most modular
GrowFrame.This original frame can be purchased only from the GrowShow frame store. You can use this square frame alone or combined with other squares or even with the other shapes to get a unique framing solution. These frames are held together by the powerful hidden magnets and they can be arranged in limitless vertical, horizontal or multi-dimensional configurations, in order to decorate any space.
Standard GrowFrame is designed for 4”x6” prints in a practical and innovative manner. Just like the other two frames, the frame can be used alone or in combination with other Standard frame, or even with the other shapes, for all panoramic and long format prints. GrowFrame Standard offers a flexible framing solution both for desk and wall applications. All frames are made of hardwood, which offers the frame rich finishes.
The panoramic frame, or on its “scene” name, Timelapse frame, is handcrafted out of solid wood. This frame can be used to display photographic sequences and it can display 6 photos (in the 12” model), but there are also 24” and 36” lengths constructions. These frames offer a real panoramic experience in one place. All Timelapse frames have magnetic endcaps which allow you to add other frames, if you want to continue the sequence began in one frame. The Timelapse frame can be purchased only in combination with the slideshow of images you can create on producer’s website. The general idea and I think that the basic concept is that you can display images which illustrate children’s growth process or evolution generally ( a flower blooming, a tree growing and of course, a child growing).
All three frames, when purchased, come with 2 additional component pieces:Â a solid easel stand, which allows frames to stand on a desk, a table, or any flat surface, and an angle segment, which allows multiple frames to be angled in various positions on the table, without the easel stand.
You can purchase any of these frames online, on producer’s website, and they offer a great opportunity to create your “grow” slideshows too. If you want to illustrate your children’s childhood, this is the best idea, because you can expose as many images as you wish, in an original manner.
