iGo Desk

Filed under: Gadgets

Most people try to coordinate their furniture, then try to figure out the best way to incorporate accessories into the picture. The size and usability of a TV or computer might be taken into account beforehand, but few would start with a computer and work out. If you happen to be in this minority and own a Mac, the iGo desk is perfect for you. It is designed not only to integrate with the Mac, but to complement its appearance. It is completely ergonomic and comes in both sitting and standing models. Price: $333-$500.

The CushTop ($35) is a lap desk that keeps the heat from the laptop from building up on your legs, as well as giving you a more comfortable angle for typing. The SleeveTop ($40) is the most streamlined of the line, very thin with built-in cooling pads for lap work.

Cobra Table Lamp

Filed under: Decor

It was tempting to make some sort of last "snakes on a..." reference for this unusual lamp, but the Cobra Lamp is only snakelike in appearance, not involving any actual snakes. It was designed by Elip Martinelli in 1968 and features a swiveling joint that allows the lamp to extend from a Pac Man-like shape into that of a striking cobra, hence the name. The table lamp is UL approved and a good deal more visually interesting than the average desk lamp. Price: $890 (orig. $1,250)

Iomoi Paperweights

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Paperweights are, unless you work in a wind-tunnel, essentially useless objects in terms of functionality. This is all the more reason that their selection should be based entirely on appearance; their real function is as a sort of desktop art object. The customizable paperweights from iomoi stationery provide you with a huge array of designs to choose from and can be personalized with initials or a few select words. And how can you resist a paperweight with a cute cupcake on it? Price: $65 for round weights, $40 for oval.
