Office furniture designers are coming up with some crazy designs for office furniture! Here are 5 pieces of office furniture that are beg the question...why!

The 87mph Office Space

Bow down to the World Record holding mobile office, for some reason built by Edd China.

It’s been known to reach 87mph, is street-legal and features a working phone, computer and 3 spare seats to the rear of the desk in case of any emergency meetings whilst on the move. The whole thing was built using a Rover 100 1.4l engine and cost £45'000. And yes, that’s a working water cooler.

The B-747 Cowling Reception Desk
It’s astounding that someone would ever even consider creating a reception desk by using a highly polished Jumbo Jet cowling but thankfully it’s been successfully done by the geniuses at Motoart.

According to the designers, only 2 or 3 of these Jumbo Jets become available each year so the fact that they even get their hands on any of these 100″ diameter engine coverings is impressive. Each reception desk comes with a wooden shelving system and glass work surface.

The Treadmill Workstation
Dr James Levine (seen elegantly demonstrating the workstation on the right) recently unveiled, in partnership with Steelcase, the Walkstation.

The intention is to encourage mild exercise during the working day by way of non-travelling at the suggested walking speed of 1 mile per hour. Just make sure your boss supplies the waterproof keyboard for when the coffee comes round.

The B-52 Ejector Seat Office Chair
This amazing office chair, available from Motoart, consists of a reconditioned and adapted ejector seat taken from a decommissioned B-52 Bomber.

Sadly the mechanism required to vertically propel your boss from the seat has been sensibly removed but this still must rank as one of the coolest office chairs on earth. Prices are only available on request.

The MiniDesk
The world’s most charming office desk is easily the MiniDesk, designed by Glynn Jenkins.

Prices start at £3'500 but from where we’re sitting it looks to be worth every penny. If you could somehow persuade your boss to fill the office with these custom built desks, just make sure all doorframes leading to the office are 30″ wide.
