This is an excerpt from a book, "Living Workplace - 10 Dogmas," from very interesting design company from Denmark, Bosch & Fjord, that have the most unique ideas for office design.

"Dead or Alive?

A living workplace? Yes, because who would prefer a dead one? We spend a large part of our waking hours at work. Work has a great influence on our lives. Our well-being and behaviour are frighteningly dependent on whether or not we have a job, on whether we feel good or bad in our workplace. The one common feature that all kinds of work should share is that going to work should somehow feel like living - rather than being deadly dull…"

They design offices that make the word "office" seem inappropriate. It might be better to say, they design gathering places to stimulate your life’s work. That is where I want to be because I don’t want to go to "work."

"…They have put forward the 10 dogmas based on their own experiences as well as on a number of dialogues with a group of experts in the fields of the working environment and working conditions. This exchange of knowledge and opinions has now been transformed into the language of art, because art can serve as a catalyst to set off a process."
