I way prefer the way it was before – way cooler (and I’m a tidy guy). Instead of nice old metal file cabinets we get.. cheap plastic mobile drawers? = downgrade. Also the chair/desk ergonomics really suck in both cases.. Very un-HM IMHO. Sorry.

I liked the way it wasn’t a huge overhaul – that with a few small tweaks you can make a big difference to your spce. And I related to the clutter! So many of the offices I’m sent are picture perfect and this one felt real.

good work for an “unclutterer” but not sure it’s what designers appreciate, and I’m not sure why it made the Herman Miller editorial cuts – there are much more inspiring ways to use this room.

So all I have to do is tidy up?!

Way to pull back on that second shot, too, so it looks even more tidy and spacious. Unintentional? Probably not.

I agree, it mostly just looks like someone did a good cleanup. Wire bundling, yay, but not recommended for mixed wiring anyway.

Click through to the Wired story and you’ll see what Erin has done. Small clever things like velcro up all the wires to keep them out of site.
