Take A Look At Yanko Design Office

One of the questions I get asked a lot is how does my office look like. So today I quickly took some pictures of my office! As you can see and maybe you will notice from the contents I chose to publish on my site that I tend to like the minimalist design or the scandinavian design. Not the most unique but the design radiates elegance and clarity which allows me to focus on my task at hand! I have few accent pieces on my shelf, stand alone blackboard/shelf to hold my to-do lists/personal accessories and last but not least my table. Again nothing too fancy but that’s my office and I hoped you enjoyed it!

What I would love to see is your self designed office - send me a picture (takashi.yamada-at-yankodesign.com) or a link to your blog or to flickr or YouTube and leave a link in comments below.

Wow, you are very clean and tidy…

I too have a desk similar to your, only a computer, notepad, and a lamp.

I think every successful blogger have a neat and clean desk to work on to keep them from distraction and stay focus :-)

I like how clean and simple your setup is. I have lots of stuff on my desk and I think it tends to distract me from blogging.

I haven’t updated my equipment for the last 2 years or so but for my notebook I use the Asus V6J when it first just came out http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/portopc/asus-v6j.html and for my monitor I use the 19″ Sony X-Brite http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/notag/sony-sdm+hs75p-and-sdm+hs95p-x+brite-flat+panel-monitors-32545.php

I am looking forward to the day I can have a office like that yet alone getting my own office. Right now we are in a 1 bedroom apartment, so my office is wherever I can find a place to put down my laptop.

always this clean, it’s a MUST to be productive. Until Jason comes over and starts munching 24/7 on my table!

Those are some nice setups, mine is definitely a lot messier. Every time I clean it up it gets all cluttered again, I guess that’s how I work best!

That’s a pretty nice setup! Who makes the furnishings you have, specifically the stand alone blackboard/shelf? I really like the look of those. I tried looking through Rosendahl’s website (since that’s what’s at the top) but was unable to find them. Any information would me much appreciated.

I’m pretty much of a cheat here because the Rosendahl furnishing you see here are not for the private consumers. Rosendahl is a design firm producing design objects and those furnishings are used themselves when they need to set up a temporary show room in various trade show they attend. I was fortunate to be able to order them because I once managed a design shop that decided to dedicate a space for Rosendahl products. When the store no longer wished to carry their line, I had to take the furnishing away and eventually ended up in my office. For some odd reasons they were no other takers. Very heavy btw, all in stainless steel.

Mine set-up includes a new desk wife got me for my birthday last month. Not much added except there is usually a mug of tea on there.

This is a great website made by a great team, I have got a lot of inspiration from it.

I should post a picture of my desk. The juxtaposition next to yours would be kinda cool. Tho I do find the explosion of toys and colors around my desk do make it harder to concentrate at times.

It would be interesting to see other designer’s work spaces. I bet they vary as much as the concepts on this site.

You have to step over that power cord everyday. That would drive me crazy.
