uh, you can't even see what type of chair he uses.
> hardly an office
So to be an office there is some strict requirements that it has to fulfil? I'll tell the local startup incubator in Phnom Penh where developers sat outside in 40c on wooden benches (with plastic container over power outlet for protection on rainy days) because the few rooms inside were occupied (no a/c).
I don't even need to see the chair. Just the mere positioning of the screen makes me cringe.
The article mentions vinyl records, a coffe mug, a baseball figurine... That's hardly the kind of equipment that comes to my mind when I think of an office. How does it make it a dream office when the only relevant material mentioned are a bunch of pencils?
This is just some guy showing off his music collection.
Or even to non-creative workers that have to spend 1/3 their life in that space. You want it to be comfortable. Either by literal ergonomic comfort, or by the creature comforts of the familiar and pleasing.
That's hardly an office but a living room with sub-par ergonomics when it comes to getting work done.
