A great place to work by the looks of it. More here , including a VPRO documentary.

More cool offices at office snapshots, including our office.

Or how about this one from Kesselskramer?

The Google office in Switzerland is Uber-cool. Found it at Office Snapshots, while reading Shedworking.

Here’s a sneak preview of our latest design, the new Ernst & Young TAS office. The rest of the office should be ready by the end of the year. More pictures (with furniture) to follow…

I uploaded some pictures at we love sheds which was picked up by Shedworking. Amazing to see that there are blogs devoted not only to sheds but also to working in them. It seems that Mahler wrote most of his compositions in sheds.
Other famous shedworkers include Mark Twain, Dylan Thomas, Roald Dahl, Arthur Miller and Peter Gabriel. Peter Gabriel has teamed up with Solid State Logic to create studio sheds for those who want a shed like Gabriel instead of creating their own. Here you can watch why Peter Gabriel likes working in a shed.

Not exactly a cool office, but quite funny to see the office of a “business guru” who puts a lot of emphasis on design.

Found it at Flickr.

Today, I had a great lunch with my friend Ryo Nakagawa . He took a book from Cahan as a present for me, and pointed me to the their webiste which shows their offices as well. It is a Flash site so you have to click first on “Company” to see it.

I like what is written at “Work”: “In the corporate environment our clients inhabit, anonymous corridors and windowless confernce rooms are the norm. Yet, very often, what’s going on in this world is some new form of business that may revolutionize the way in which the world lives and works. So how do you communicate this excitement of that to a company’s audience?”

I could not agree more, if as a company you want to express your widget through your widget only? Or should you express this through the attitude of your employees and the space all of this takes place in? Damn YES!

A recipe for a cool office:

Average meeting 8 seconds.

Take a look at these video clips of Skype’s cool offices.

Their chair problem is quite funny.
