One feature of many of the offices that I featured this week was that, well, not to put too fine a point on it, the designers all seem to have had a shade more in the way of budget than I will.
But that is not to say that the most stylish office cannot be fitted out on the most slender budget. For instance, I love this picture from Bodie & Fou:
And you know what? That desk is from IKEA. I have it in my bedroom, in fact. It's the Vika Artur trestle with a Vika table top. The steel shelves are easy, although the stool might be a bit pricier. But it wouldn't be practical for the office anyway, and I can pick up Eames style chairs *ahem* on Ebay for very little...
And they look so smart (as well as featuring in maaaaany of the offices I have on my Pinterest office board), don't they? Also comfy.
So that is my thinking for Natural History's new offices this week. Now all I have to do is actually find somewhere...
