Working on my first book, Cube Chic, was a great experience and it provided me with a platform to discuss a topic that I am passionate about…bringing your passion and signature style to the various spaces that we dwell. It opened the door to new opportunities, like working on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Tyra Banks Show, and the Today Show. I never imagined that a year after its release the topic and the book would still be garnering attention in publications like the New York Post. Yes, today the New York Post recommended Cube Chic as a required read for cubicle dwellers (http://www.nypost.com/seven/07232007/jobs/toy_story_jobs_jonathan_bender.htm! If you haven’t had a chance to think about your work environment in a new way pick up a copy to at least get you thinking about your work space differently.
We spend a lot of money and time, me included, on designing our homes yet most of us spend the majority of our week at work. I understand that corporate standards are important, and not to be ignored, but bringing a few elements of style to your space can be easy and unobtrusive. For those of you that argue Cube Chic is “over the top” and “against your company policy,” let me clarify that it was designed to get people thinking about their work space in a new way. I do understand that putting a bed underneath your desk, as you will find in the Nap Cube, is ridiculous but installing corrugated bamboo paper on your cubicle walls is something that is more pratical, easy to do, and can completely change the energy in your space. You might event like being at work a little more.
