It’s the perfect time to invest in a new calendar- mostly because according the Mayans, it’s the last year you’ll need one!  I suggest this design by MAKE Collaboration. It’s a twist on the old-fashion wall calendar that displays the monthly timeline vertically, making it easy to read and eye-catchingly different. In addition to the included US holidays, you can personalize yours to include up to 36 items and 2 recurring events! Whatcha waiting for? Only a few days left until the new year! Get it here.

Nothing says “get the f#&% away from my desk” quite like the Efi space divider! Okay, so I’m half-kidding, but it really does provide one very unique way of isolating oneself from others. Lowering the ring blocks nearby visual and phonic distractions, allowing the user to focus on the work at hand. I don’t know about you, but I can certainly think of times that I could shut everyone out at work (as silly as it might look!).

Hole Punch Binder is a combination of a punch machine and a binder; basically office equipment that will make filing sheets a whole lot easier! Writing paperwork and maintaining files is quite an art and if anything helps to make the process easy, should be applauded. Thankfully all my sheets are digital documents and am saved from all this hassle!

Hole Punch Binder is a 2011 Sparks Award entry.

A pencil sharpener cannot get more basic than this! Twist is a stainless steel sheet, bent with one sharp side, mimicking a pencil shaving. Simple, functional and fantastic! In short, Steve Jobs approved!

Twist is an iF concept design entry.

Being innovative means moving beyond old habits and inventing something new. The Notchless tape dispenser achieves this with its unconventional design making it instantly recognizable as a tape dispenser. The form is reminiscent of a small snail with the roll of tape apparently floating weightlessly inside. The roll is held in place by a clear module which can easily be removed when replacing the tape. Made of aluminum and plastic. DO WANT!

It’s bad enough that, each year, millions of printer ink cartridges end up in landfills and incinerators. What’s worse is that most aren’t even empty! To make the most of the remaining ink, this smart design transforms from ink cartridge to handy stamp with a quick and easy removal of the cap. Not only does it help to cut back on wasted ink, but it also serve as a reminder to reduce, reuse, and recycle items that are often taken for granted.

I thought my office was cool until I saw the exterior of Adidas’ new corporate headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Germany. The part that really stung though, was seeing the interior… thanks to the design team at KINZO, I now officially hate my office!! The new working environment features a custom, sporty, and functional furniture system they like to call “WORKOUT” … a perfect name considering the design is purely Adidas in both form and function. Hit the jump to see for yourself!

Designer: KINZO

If you’re a slave to your desk like me, you know what it’s like to daydream about getting a little exercise during the week and will appreciate this design. Introducing Fitness@Work- the perfect chair for keeping your blood flowing throughout the workday! For those big guns a central mainspring/handle combo is built into the core of the chair for a great arm resistance workout. Need to work on those 6 pack abs? Lean the seat-back to the floor, tuck your feet behind the stabilizers and…you get the idea. Neeeeed this!

The glue stick is a fine innovation but what the creators didn’t anticipate is the mess that happens when you try to apply glue to the edges of a sheet of paper. I place an old newspaper beneath the sheet to prevent accidental gluing of other stuff. InGlue Stick resolves the issue with a clever redesigning of the cap. A slight cut in the cap and an innovative twist-to-open system, allows you to slide a sheet into the gap. I think it’s a problem-solved design! Hurrah!
