Jelte van Geest , a Dutch designer has created the most imaginative concept that I have ran across in some time. Take A Seat was designed for Openbare Bibliotheek Endhoven. You can check out the chair and it is literally there for you anytime you may need it. If only I could get one of these things to follow me onto the subway! The video is a must see.

I came across this at a friend’s place in Lincoln Park. It sits on a small circular brick rise about a foot off the ground rendering the casters useless.
Those plastic casters are starting to buckle, they need to be upgraded soon!
This is a very useful piece of furniture, It belonged to my Grandparents, they gave it to me once the bought a larger TV. The base is plastic, & the top is wood. The casters pop right out if they need to be replaced. It’s protected from floods, & is just about waist level.
Here’s the best part, no more lifting, struggling or bending. It also came in handy while building the PC.
Just when you thought it was safe to come back to my blog, I find some more book furniture. <link>
I have a weakness for desks. I’m constantly searching for ways to make mine more functional and organized. I want it to show my quirks, but also tell people “I get work done here.” I want color, but not too much. I don’t want loud, clashing items that will distract me from writing.
See Jane Work is one of my favorite websites for home office ideas. The products are simple and funky in a non-obnoxious sort of way. Today I noticed they had a Desk of the Month section. This is like porn to me!
My favorites:
Drawer Organization. I think this is one of my biggest pet peeves. I can’t stand unorganized drawers. Currently my desk lacks drawers, which is even worse than unorganized drawers! I just can’t have them until I figure out how to organize them.
Working Girl. Okay I really love this. There’s color, but not too much. The letter trays, portfolios and hanging folders really give it a grown-up feel without being boring and drab. This is a desk I’d love to work at.
Car Organization. I love this. I often tell myself I should just carry my backpack so I can cram everything in it instead of throwing it all over the car. Just like my workspace, I want my car to look impeccable. I can’t focus on the road if my mind is spazzing about all the clutter. I’m especially happy about the Collision Kit. I’ve seen this at Target and thought it’s a great idea to have in your car (along with a first-aid kit!).
Spring Fling. There’s a good chance I chose this because of all the green :)
Out of the Closet. Now I know this really isn’t a desk, but I think this is a great substitute for those who don’t have space to accommodate a big work area.
