Get a Glimpse of Other Workers' Cubicles

SavvySugar — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:33:25 -0700

We spend so much of our weeks at work that our offices can seem like a second home. And our cubicles and desks can develop a sense of style (or clutter) of their own. You see your co-workers' desks all the time, but here's an opportunity to glimpse into strangers cubes. When you're finished clicking through, pick up your camera and snap a pic of your own workspace - then join my Capture Your Cube group and share with the rest of us!

Before and After: Office Chair Rehab

CasaSugar — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 08:30:30 -0700

Craftster member Dink recently took this dingy (in her words, "skanky") office chair from trashy to fantastic with a simple reupholstery project. Here's how it looked beforehand. Dink explains that the missing fabric is due to her "habit of sitting with both my feet up on the office chair, cross-legged in a not-quite-lotus position. This is comfortable for me, but disastrous for the chair."

To see the results, read more.

She says, "Unscrewing the seat was easy. Stapling the fabric to the underside of the seat was easy. Removing the back was not easy. I spent a long time searching on the Internet for instructions on how to get the back off without breaking the chair. All I could find were pictures of reupholstered chairs, and helpful comments like 'take the back off' with no details on how to actually do it. So, for anyone considering reupholstering an office chair, I offer the following advice: to dismantle the back you have to jam a long screwdriver down in between the padded fabric part and the plastic part, then prise the plastic part off with all your strength. After a few seconds, the back will surprise you with a couple of loud 'pop's, and magically it will be in two separate pieces."

Oh, and if you're wondering where the cool fabric came from, Dink says to check an Ikea store.

Office Autumn/Winter Sneak Preview

FabSugarUK — Thu, 15 May 2008 03:00:35 -0700

Yesterday Office shoes gave us a sneak preview of what to expect from their Autumn/Winter collection. The enormous range was divided in to certain key trends including Rockabilly, Country Boho, and Grunge. There was such a vast selection from pretty velvet floral heels to chunky Dr Marten style heeled boots. I fell in love with the red glittery heels with bow detail. The heel and bows were completely covered in glitter whilst the rest was a patent peep toe court shoe. I am not too sure about the current penchant for loafers, although I will probably be back-tracking by September! I don't think you need me to explain how fabulous the quilted two-tone heels are! See below for just some of the new collection, due to hit stores in late August.

Home Away From Home: Google Zurich

CasaSugar — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 07:00:29 -0700

Living in San Francisco, where Google is headquartered, I have heard plenty of tales of the company's unconventional office culture and environment, including free food mandates, excellent chefs, in-house masseuses, arcade rooms, off-site meetings in breweries and at fun spots like Disneyland, not to mention bouncy balls galore and tons of branded schwag. So, when I came across a photo of Google's Zurich office, I wasn't very surprised, so much as I felt a pang of jealousy — although, I can't complain about Sugar HQ's swank new space.

While bouncy balls also float freely there, you may, in addition, hold a conference in a gondola car bedecked in ski gear or wrapping in a fishing net, take a break on a massage chair in an aquarium, brainstorm with co-workers while sitting in a canoe, spend a delicate few competing in Guitar Hero, or shoot down to lunch on a playground slide. Anything goes in the space, which one person described aptly as "kindergarten for adults." To hear more and see lots of images, read more.

As you may have expected, creating a fun office is great at keeping staff happy and fostering creativity. But, according to VP of Engineering Nelson Mattas, who said, "I was very surprised that on day one of joining Google I had access to every piece of code, design document, and confidential information," this wacky space is also meant to create "a structure that isn't dictated from the top," a place where information is free flowing. For Googlers, who no doubt spend a majority of their life at the office, this certainly seems like one heck of a Home Away From Home. Unfortunately, though, this Zurich funhouse is unconventional even by Google's standards. When I showed images to an SF-based Google friend of mine, she responded, "Is that a joke? Is that really the office? Where did you find this gem!?" Bewilder yourself by checking out the images below.
