Japanese office furniture manufacturer Okamura cares about your back, and they do it in style. Showed off at the NY Design Week 2009, their latest collection of lower, reclined seating Luxos chairs and the new Cruise workstation are a sure bet for a “well-relaxed yet highly-concentrated condition suitable for intellectual and creative work”. Although it may not look like the workspace environment we’ve been used with, the Japanese channeled all their efforts for a better seating experience that will obviously help boost your productivity. – via

Tremendous and richly-colored, Axo Light’s Bell Lamp design is a strong accent for a tall ceiling space.  Despite the fact that the light itself is clearly enormous, the strength of the light and lushness of the color allow for the Bell Lamp to have a surprisingly warm touch.  A simple metal frame covered in smooth sponge fabric, the Bell Lamp actually comes in ten different colors.  Aside from tall ceilings in foyers, the Bell Lamp or two may be a powerful statement in a dining room, especially the white lamp for those trying to create a warm contemporary mood with their space.  Also as a precaution, due to its massive design we don’t recommend this lamp for people taller than 7 feet unless you’re living in a warehouse. – via
