Nick DeMarco created this Daydreamer Desk that is lacking in details, but obviously surfaced with a pillow. That being said, don’t expect to find it anywhere it would be useful.

In a moment of inspiration, Hong Kong-based entrepreneur and product designer David Wu decided to embark on a three month journey to remodel his apartment after an Apple store.
The Apple pillar structure complete with lit up Apple logo and built-in LCD screen is the room’s feature. I run my Apple TV into this screen and often just let it run through the screensaver. I had a replica made of the Fetzer Maple Wood Desk incorporating the interlocking pattern. Only difference is the drawers are real on mine. Shelves are silver anodized and heat-treated for soft shine and finish and more importantly to match the Store cabinets. Every last detail was important to a crazy person like me.

This Time Management Clock reminds you that life is short and shouldn’t be wasted reading pointless wall posts from people you don’t really care for.
Of course, if you’re stuck behind a desk all day, this clock might be more accurate if the larger part was devoted to Facebook and the smaller part to actual work.

Dutch design studio Denieuwegeneratie’s awesome car bookshelf design is absolutely fantastic. I would love to reproduce this for my office, but I don’t have a spare vintage Jag lying around (and I don’t think getting back my old Saturn would work quite as well).

Believe it or not, this giant bird’s nest was created by O*GE as a prototype for a socializing space which is meant to inspire new ideas. Three versions of this furniture/playground mashup are available, the largest of which measures 4.50 m in diameter and can seat up to 16. It is said to require “no explanation or user manual”, and is touted as “offering a comfortable and sensual soft space, various siting positions, configurations for informal meetings and social exchange.”
Whatever the purpose, you’ll come to know it as the place where you take naps at work.
Kagen Schaefer spent three years crafting a pipe organ desk, which is solid wood construction “down to the last screw”.
It features an octave of functional wooden organ pipes. Should you play the correct sequence of notes or tune, a secret compartment opens up.
When you push in a drawer on the desk the air is directed to one of the organ pipes at the front of the desk, sounding a note. Some of the air is also directed into a pneumatic logic board. The logic board within the desk actually keeps track of the notes played. When it picks up the correct tune it unlocks a very special secret compartment. The logic board, can be reprogrammed to pick up any tune, so at any time the song may be changed to a new tune. It is powered entirely by air, and it is made entirely from solid wood.
Hidden in the desk are many other puzzles and secret compartments storing clues and scraps of information for anyone on a quest to play the correct song. This project has been an odyssey for me. I am refreshed to be nearing the end a long journey, having learned a lifetime of skills along the way.

In his quest for a perfect computer desk and chair, Ron Bean decided to forgo the furniture store route and simply build them himself:
The structure is a little haphazard because I was making it up as I went along. I had planned to make all the angles adjustable, but when I found an angle that seemed right, it turned out to be exactly 30 degrees, so I drilled some holes and bolted it in place. Next time I’ll start with that, and the structure will look more like I planned it that way…
French design company TABISSO, who focuses on contemporary lounge furniture, has created a series of typography chairs that cover every letter of the alphabet, as well as the numbers 0 to 9. Each chair is custom made, giving the clients the opportunity to select Kvadrat fabric or leather upholstery, a veneered beech wood, lacquered black or white wooden shell, and lacquered, black or white footing. In addition, they can customize each model to fit your interior, corporate identity or logo. A series of lamps in the shapes of 20 different punctuation marks are also available.

This “Cut Chair” by designer Peter Bristol has a leg to stand on… and that’s all it needs, thanks to a hidden support structure. Check out the image after the break, which will help you make sense of it.
Inspired by the “dream within a dream” concept from the film Inception, design student Vivian Chiu created chairs within a chair – ten to be exact – all of which nest together using tabs and slots. Check out some additional photos after the break.
