Workspace of the Week: Chaos-free workspace

This week’s Workspace of the Week is ハク’s tech-heavy setup:

Three monitors and the numerous other pieces of hardware on this desk could easily be a disorganized nightmare, but ハク has assembled this gear into a techie’s chaos-free dream space. There are multiple images in our pool of the desk. What’s most incredible to me is that on the back side of one of the shelves is a homemade light box to photograph small figurines — it’s not a mess of cables on the back side of the desk, it’s functional space! (The cable management on this desk is pristine.) And, under the desk is a media storage shelf occupying space that is behind where legs hit but would otherwise be a useless void. I am truly impressed with ハク’s workspace.

Want to have your own workspace featured in Workspace of the Week? Submit a picture to the Unclutterer flickr pool. Check it out because we have a nice little community brewing there. Also, don’t forget that workspaces aren’t just desks. If you’re a cook, it’s a kitchen; if you’re a carpenter, it’s your workbench.

    Wonderful advice. Lol. Multi-workability in our equipments is something we need for uncluttered life!

    By the way, I just found that my room was the most cluttered space in my home and my wardrobe the least! Amazing!

    This desk must be a joy to work at. Everything is at your fingertips, which takes half the slog out of tasks.

    That workspace is a techie’s dream with everything at your fingertips. My workspace is a cluttered mess that I have promised myself i will organize this year.

    Everything within reach. Super smooth. Wouldn’t say it’s as nice as the minimalist ones but still awesome.

    Although this must serve the user’s purpose well, this post has reminded me why I don’t want a glass-top desk and why all shelving needs a back to it. You can only see ‘stuff’ without these things that soften the appearance. Thanks for the reminder!

    This is an interesting workspace and, while I understand that everything is within reach, it doesn’t look chaos free.

    I agree with Wellington, I would be knocking into things constantly if that was my workspace! :(

    I love this to bits. It warms my geeky heart.

    It may not BE cluttered, but it sure LOOKS cluttered. Makes me itch (and glad that my video-geek ex is my ex, because I no longer have to be driven crazy by wires and wires and wires and gadgets and cords and plugs and gadgets and lordy, the sheer soul-sucking volume of electronic junk alllll over the place).

    Love the use of chrome wire shelving here!
