Why is it that human beings are intent on building things on such a large scale?With that in mind, we decided to work out whether a giant would be able to furnish an extremely large office with bafflingly large equipment that has already been made. Just the basics. We didn’t expect to get very far but were pleasantly surprised with the results. The world of enormous office furniture…
Table and Chair
Without a place to sit, the office wouldn’t be very practical or comfortable, so that’s how the search started.
Within minutes we found the enormous table and chair you see above, created by Giancarlo Neri, an Italian sculptor. It stood on Hampstead Heath in 2005 and measures 30ft in height - ample for the average giant.
Laptop
So, the giant is seated. Next up is a computer. Unfortunately we couldn’t find a desktop PC large enough for a giant, but don’t worry, we found a gigantic, fully-functioning laptop instead.
It was exhibited at the CeBIT trade fair in Hanover, 2008 and looks as if it would fit perfectly on the table. Wow.
Printer
We have it on good authority that giants just love printing. But surely there isn’t a printer large enough to compliment the laptop above?
Of course there is. It’s called the HP Scitex TJ8300, has a width of 13ft and can be found on HP’s website here. For a sense of scale, have a look at the PC to the right of the printer.
Telephone
We’re possibly running out of space on our table but we cannnot let a giant work without a huge telephone.
This one was shown (apparently fully-functioning) at last year’s VoiceCon in Orlando. We also found this one but decided it wasn’t modern enough to share table space with the high-end technology we’ve already found.
Filing Cabinet
When the thought of an enormous filing cabinet surfaced, little did we know that we’d find one that was actually too big for our giant’s office.
It reaches 65ft into the air, just over double the height of the table, and stands permanently as an exhibit in Napa, California.
Cup Of Coffee
It’s all very well having the correct furniture and technology but we’re forgetting vital refreshments.
This is officially the world’s largest cup of coffee and looks pretty much perfect for our office. The cup has a diameter of 7.6ft and to fill it just once requires 801 kilos of instant coffee and 4′000l of water.
So there you have it, we found enough enormous office furniture and equipment to get a giant through a day. Considering giants don’t even exist that’s pretty impressive.
