My Office Desk Reconfiguration in June 2010

Well, sometime in June 2010, I felt that the corner where I had my desk is kind of pretty dark. And as a person who love natural lighting, I decided to shift the entire workstation again.

*its no joke to shift the entire workstation by myself and its a full day process that day.

Old, btw, don't even bother ask me why orange.. cause I am not a orange person this finishes on the panel is a big screw up from the fabricator.

SWGraphic Sara Wu's Home Office

I supposed it would be quite boring if I were to keep on posting about my own work place right?

Ok, here is something different for this post, courtesy of Sara Wu my twitter buddy all the way from New York.

A little information about Sara is that she is an Interactive Designer & Art Director based in New York who is also a Lead Designer for Disney Interactive Media Group.

Apart from that, she is also the owner of the reknown SWGraphic website which had recently been featured in "The Web Designer's Idea Book Volume 2".

So now, many might wonder where did all her awesome inspiration are created from. And this is the same question I asked myself.



The answer from Sara? A nice cosy corner of her apartment where her desk is situated.

Hmm.. now it makes me wonder what is the view outside that window she is facing everyday when she works from there.

My Office Desk Configuration With Partition Panels

Ok, here is another shot of my office desk back in 2009.

But this shot was taken when I got the sample Partition Panel System which I had been working on and I had just bought 2 Samsung SyncMaster 2243QW display.

My Office in 2009 Oct

Well, back in 2009 Oct, I finally got a place for my actual office as I required some space for samples testing or set up.

So, maybe you people might have thought that I would have made my own desk? Neh, I didn't.

I virtually went to IKEA and grab what I need.

And hence, my first work desk at the new place.

My Home Desk in 2010

I had a bad habit of moving things around or reconfiguring layout every now and then.

Here is my 2010 home desk arrangement now after I had lost my study room.

No longer did I have the large area, cosy setting as I once had but still it's quite decent working space.

My Home Office Desk

ok, I shall start the ball rolling here.

Here is a photo of my desk back at home 2 years ago when I still have my own study room (long story).

It was one of my most cosy layout which at time, I felt that I had spent too much time over there and I bet my family felt the same way too.

Hello World !!

Well, I am not sure if it should be a tradition to always make the first post to "Hello World" But here we go.

But before we go on from here, here is a short write up on the purpose of this site.

As a Freelance Industrial Designer, specialised in Office System Furniture, there are times when I need to reseach on general behavoir of a consumer's actual behaviour behind the desk.

And by that, I means how is everyone's desk configure, layout, design or general habits.

The thing is that, whenever I google about this, I seemed to get more results from Overseas site rather then in Singapore.

Hence, I had decided to try if I can "comb" out people out there to post a picture or 2 so that I could gather this interesting showcase to the world out there.

So what are you waiting for? Snap a picture of your office or home desk, say a little something about it like, what you like about it or what you hope that it can do and drop an email to me under the About Me section and check to see if it get posted out here.

But also from time to time, I will be posting some of the interesting ones around the world.
