The office: Skype in Stockholm

Working during the summer holidays always seems a bit harder. But it must be a consolation if you're able to work in a trendy designed workplace such as the Skype offices in Stockholm.

The office: Mother London

I'm quite envious of the Mother office. Not only because they are fabulously designed but most of all because it looks like so much fun to work there. Almost like you're at college instead of at work (excluding exams but including stressing deadlines).

Oh dear, my office feels so boring right now...

The office: Cheap Monday

Once winter is near, and colder weather is upon us, Monday mornings seem even harder than before.

And I can't even imagine how hard Mondays must be in Scandinavia, where there is even less warmth and light! But apparently it's not all that bad, look at the employees of Swedish Cheap Monday. They have the most extra ordinary office, complete with pyramids and cute dog.

The office: Selgas Cano Architects

Just walked into the office to find a team of ten builders hammering away. Not my idea of a quiet monday morning. Wish I was here instead... (Oh, that view!)







Through Today and Tomorrow

The office: Etsy

I already loved Etsy, but now I'm also head over heels with their offices.

This definitely is the coolest company ever...






Through Apartment Theraphy

The office: PostPanic

I love the retro movie vibe the PostPanic office is giving me. I can see myself strolling in hte building and telling reception that my name is Can, Carrie Can.

Mmm, I wondering if there will be a hottie and a martini waiting for me in that meeting room...

The office: APFEL

Another great design studio that's screaming at me to emigrate. Designed by Assembly who are more than welcome to pop into my office any time.

The office: Parliament

How I want to work here! Why can't design studio Parliament be in Belgium instead of the US? Since the commuting time would be tremendous, I'll guess I'll just stay where I am and drool over these pictures instead.

The office: officePOD

For all you lucky ones working from home, here is a nice way get away from all life's little distractions: the officePOD.







I woudn't mind to emerge from one of these at six o'clock, take a brisk walk to the house, open the door and call out: "honey, I'm home!" Ah, and so the daydreaming continues...

The office: TBWA/Chiat/Day LA

In my dictionary, big firms equal boring work cubicles. But I just might have to change my opinion after seeing the office of TBWA/Chiat/Day. Clive Wilkinson Architects designed them to resemble a village including little apartments and even a basketball court!







I'm becoming a little green with envy...

The office: Dossier

Look. At. That. View.

The office: Facebook

Monday mornings aren't fun. After two days of sleeping in, the alarm clock going of at 6am sounds like something out of Dante's inferno. You drag yourself out of bed and, after several cups of coffee, squeeze yourself more or less awake on an overfilled metro for the morning commute.

Unfortunately there is now way to make Monday mornings feel like Friday evenings, but wouldn't they be a bit more bearable if your office would be this beautiful designed work space instead of just gray and boring?

Some people are so lucky. That's why I decided to do some posts about inspirational offices. Please be free to forward them to your boss...

First up: Facebook.

If you run a hip social networking site you need a hip office to match. And I think the employees over at the California headquarters can't complain.
