Globus: The Collapsible Office

100108_rg_globusoffice.jpgMany people working from home face the challenge of an ever decreasing space. It's not easy to setup a home office when space is at a premium. Even though the above image might look a bit confusing, the Globus is actually a collapsible chair and desk designed by Michiel van der Kley.

 
 

The goal behind the design of the Globus was to create a movable flexible workstation, that could be moved around wherever you wanted. In that regard, the goal was accomplished. The concept behind the Globus is really good. However, it retails for about $8,775, which is too much in our opinion. The good thing about this design is that another manufacturer might make something similar a lot cheaper. At that point, it would be a welcome addition to try and save some space while setting up a home office in extremely small lofts, condos and dorms.

Would this save space?
Really?

...It would be nice to see this in an actual space, because it looks monstrous to me.
