Help me outfit a small, windowless office.

July 9, 2007 2:12 PM

Halp! I'm being forced to move to a new office in the building. How do I solve the mystery of outfitting for a smaller space?

The new office is only about 11 feet by 11 feet and my current office furniture is too big for that space. The compensation for me moving to a smaller, windowless office is that I get to buy all new furniture for it. The only thing I know to order now is an Aeron chair.
What cool, small desk, filing cabinet and book shelves should I order? Any suggestions for mimicking natural light in my new cave? How about a napping couch?
As for what I have to occupy shelves: an Aiwa boombox, a bunch of CDs, some books and a bunch of cool knick knacks. Oh, and my desk should have room for two 19" Samsung flat monitors, a keyboard, a mouse and room for writing notes and phone numbers and whatnot.
Any suggestions?

<montypython>Luxury. In a month I'm being forced to move from an 8x8 cube to an 8x6 cube with lower walls. I dream of having to chose new furniture to move into an 11x11 space. Sheer luxury.</montypython>

(Try Ikea. They have a decent selection of office furniture for tight spaces)

Ikea also has office design tools.
