"Living out of a suitcase" taken to a new level. Though this
steamer trunk office from
Restoration Hardware is damn spendy at $2,995, it definitely still falls under the "tiny" category. A whole home office in a space as big as your shower, and it's closeable and moveable too!

The "Mayfair Steamer Secretary," featured on
The Office Stylist, makes me think of something Dr. Livingstone would have brought along on his explorations -- if he really needed to bring his iMac with him. (C'mon, David, the MacBook is so much more travel-friendly! Well, not that they had either of those in the 1870s, but still.)
Even if you can't afford this beauty of leather and nailhead, you can still take away some inspiration from how compact this workstation is. Everything is kept neat and tidy in labeled cubbies of varying sizes, and the uniformity of their design lets the eye glide over them uninterrupted.

If only more offices used these instead of those awful gray-fabric walled cubicles. Work would feel a little more like a safari. (But only a little more -- most of us already have to deal with wild beasts every day anyway!)

omg that is awesome...I need to start playing the lottery now. I would love to have that!
ReplyDeleteI know! It is SO GORGEOUS. But for that price, it'd better have a hidden bedroom and kitchen in there too... :-P
ReplyDeleteoh I'm craving this! we have too little wallspace in our place though, and I wouldn't want to cover up our big windows with my office.
ReplyDeleteI bumped into this in person (it's great) and was reminded of the 'office in an armoire' that was so popular 10 years ago or so: time for a repeat of the concept?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful outworking of the armoire concept....i love the steamer look!
ReplyDeleteI would love to own one of these study trunks! Very innovative, I love it. Suprised I haven't seen it in Coco Republic!
