Coffee mug-shaped cubicle is a cramped reminder of how much you hate your job
Brazilian designer Lucas Vieira isn't doing the common drone any favors. By cutting some corners on your average cubicle (which stack quite nicely in a grid, I might add), he's come up with a workspace the shape of a coffee mug. Called the Coffee Office Workstation, the compact space features a touchscreen computer, space for your laptop and a spot for coffee (you know, in a regular-sized mug). There's also what appears to be either a speaker system or an air conditioner toward the rear of the space.

OMFG...that thing is small!
Yes,that's what she said! ;-)
I want stackable cubes!!
Heh, in my last company, I was able to set up 6 cubes in a mega-cube structure (3 cubes per side w/ a 3 foot path between them and no internal walls). It at least gave the impression of an enclosed place for use code monkeys.

"There's also what appears to be either a speaker system or an air conditioner toward the rear of the space."
It's a PA speaker, so your PHB can scream in your ear without leaving his air-conditioned 1200-square-foot corner office with windows.

Hello,
It's a system speaker =)
Tanks to disclose the Coffee Office Workstation, I am working on some changes.
This product was developed with reference to the Coffee. Not only the "coffee bean", but all the feelings and concepts related to it, and thinking in future trends (2020) I came to this solution.
The idea for this issue was the development of a desktop for individual use and with capacity for fast communication. Intended to places with large influx of businessmen and executives.
