In my ideal office, I have a Nelson Swag Leg Desk. I keep nothing on this desk, because I have no irrelevant desk rubble. All I have is my computer and a few Mad Men style desk accessories. I don’t even have a power cord for my computer, it just has infinite energy. It’s a beautiful system.
I haven’t quite decided which chair I would want. Right now, it’s a toss up between the Magis Steelwood Chair (above) and the Mattiazzi He Said Chair (below) but I’m not sure how high the arms are in relationship to the height of the desk. There may be trouble in paradise.
Back in the real world, I have a lot of stuff on my desk, and I have work to do. Netflix isn’t going to watch itself, you know. The more I think about it, the more I would love an adjustable height desk, like the Airtouch from Steelcase. It adjusts from 26 inches (the short end of desks) to 42 inches (bar height). One of the things that has worried me in the past about going for a standing desk is the fact that you’re stuck with it. Once you go for the standing desk, you’re in an exclusive little club, and you can’t have a regular desk. But with an adjustable desk, it’s okay to want to sit down sometimes.
After thinking long and hard about what kind of chair to use when I choose to sit, I decided on the Sayl Chair, from Herman Miller. Aeron was a top contender, but I think that the Sayl is just as comfortable as the Aeron, but looks less like a machine and more like a combination of functionality and usability.
What about you? What does your ideal office look like? Do you think it could actually work? Would you go Aeron?

Steelcase Bounce Chair – The Bounce Chair by Steelcase is equally heralded as being the Aeron Chair and with great reason. The Leap has acquired numerous design awards and it's rated by the Wall Steet Journal as being the Best Desk Chair. The Leap is especially best for women because it is far from large and cumbersome including the Aeron. The Leap is definitely elegant, sleek and comes into play one size fits all of. All parts are adjustable (the height of your chair, the arms, etc) as well as Leap is especially great because the device has Steelcase's patented LiveBack know-how, which adapts to swimming pool is important of your back despite how you are perched.
