			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://joelpirela.com/" target="_blank">Joel Pirela</a> is a graphic and industrial designer,  the founder of <a href="http://blueantstudio.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Blue Ant Studio</a> and a regular contributor to <a href="http://design-milk.com/search/?cx=partner-pub-0789744261177812%3Alyn4lcxi0l1&amp;cof=FORID%3A11&amp;ie=ISO-8859-1&amp;q=joel+pirela&amp;sa=GO" target="_blank">Design Milk</a> and <a href="http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/author/joel" target="_blank">Apartment Therapy</a>. Here he shares his ideal live work space &#8211; one completely free of cables and clutter.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/1231010_profile-2.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11706" title="1231010_profile-2" src="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/1231010_profile-2.jpeg" alt="" width="480" height="358" /><br />
</a>Everything is its place and a place for everything.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/desk1_joel_pirela.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11707" title="desk1_joel_pirela" src="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/desk1_joel_pirela.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="358" /><br />
</a>Being creative, my desk is not your typical mess. In fact, some may say is kind of OCD-ish. I can&#8217;t stand clutter or being un-organized. My mind works better when I have lots empty space around me and only have the stuff I need for the project deadly accessible. After I&#8217;m done with the project, or even if the project is not completed but I&#8217;m done for the day, I would put everything away and start from a blank canvas the next morning. That will give me different angle on the process of creation.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/desk21.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11708" title="desk2" src="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/desk21.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="358" /><br />
</a>In my current set up, I have made some compromises, but If it was up to me, my ideal workspace would be one with plenty of sunlight, empty spaces, almost spartan with glass surrounding me everywhere; that way I could enjoy the outdoors with it&#8217;s incredible views.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/glasshouse.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11709" title="glasshouse" src="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/glasshouse.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="288" /><br />
</a>Computer with a dual monitor set up with everything wireless (I hate cables) and it would be extra nice if I had a section of my working space that I could use for a very small shop; as I like to tweak, disassemble and create stuff all the time.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/desk7.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11710" title="desk" src="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/desk7.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="360" /><br />
</a> A great wireless sound system where music play non stop and even a TV playing in the background on mute. I love to work around white noise and visuals. I can&#8217;t work when everything is too quiet.</p>
