I love the look of kidney desks (well, kidney-bean shaped desks).  If you’re going for a sleek, modern decor, kidney bean desks offer a great way to add some curves to the room without departing from the overall theme.  This particular kidney desk, the Mateo Desk, comes in both black and chocolate brown.

Although it’s a little pricey, I think they’re worth every penny.  The nice part is that unlike a lot of modern desks and office furniture, these desks do offer some storage space.  A really great flat screen monitor and sleep small computer would look amazing with this setup.  What do you think?  Click on the images below to get bigger pictures and more details.

If you spend much time working at a desk, you’re probably well aware of the effects it can have on your back, neck, and waistline. Although you can’t do a whole lot about the waistline, you can use massaging cushions and chairs to minimize the negative effects on your back and neck.

This Homedics Massage Cushion can be used with pretty much any desk chair. If your employer won’t shell out for one of those fancy $800 chairs, the “Homedics Therapist Select Quad Roller Massaging Cushion with Heat” is a nice alternative.

It’s just not reasonable to think that a person should sit at a desk for 40+ hours each week and do nothing but work. You have to play around a bit if you want to be productive. That’s why this Random Dawdle Mousepad is so incredibly awesome.

When you need a break, you can just push the mouse aside and play some tic-tac-toe or scribble down the URL of the stupid website you came across, etc. When you’re done, just pull off the top sheet and move on to the next one.

If you find yourself completely unable to keep any plants alive, this Atomic Bonsai Tree should be pretty exciting. Instead of spending hours nurturing and carefully pruning a real bonsai tree, you just snap and twist the cardboard pieces together. End result? An adorable fake bonsai tree for your home or office - and a great conversation starter.
