If your office is anything like mine, then it’s pretty ugly on the inside. Sure, people pay architects a bagillion dollars just to design the actual building, but when it comes to the inside it’s as if higher-ups forget there are other colors of paint outside of white and perhaps the occasional earth tone.
Their idea of decorating is getting cubicles with patterns on them or hanging up motivational posters with tiny kittens dangling from tree branches under captions that read, “Hang on! It’s almost Friday!”
Correction: not all offices are ugly. Deputydog has put together a list of “10 Annoyingly Brilliant Office Interiors.” You know, the kind what will put yours to shame and perhaps make you cry.
Take the Pixar offices for example. Each employees cubicle looks like a tiny Fisher-Price playhouse or a “wood cabin” as Deputydog describes it. They have household furniture and soft lighting to work under instead of worn out computer chairs from 1983 and second-hand IKEA desks.
The inside of the Red Bull office, however, looks like anything but home. More like a spaceship. These guys work in what looks like some swanky European club what with the shiny white bar and a slide to get from floor to floor. The people at the Zurich offices for Google also have a slide to go along with their colorful playground-inspired set up.
The sad part is that there are seven more offices on the list for you to envy. Click here to see the full article from Deputydog. Don’t worry. No one will know if you cry.
