    Say what you will but I'm totally stealing the hang-stuff-salon-style-around-a-corner bit from yesterday. That's a pretty genius solution for those weird corners that always look empty. #twitter

    I somehow think an in-office DJ would get old fast.

    It would be cool if the software project management process somehow corresponded to the architectural layout, with the deer sculptures expressing various stages.

    At the planning stage (meeting rooms), the live green deer represent the idealism of the vision and scope statement. By the time you get to the programming phase (coding cubicles), the deer have been shot and are being gutted. After testing, when a product iteration is complete (breakroom), you have the deer heads mounted on the wall.

    Or maybe the deer theme was just a quirky designer thing. #twitter

    @AndPreciousLittleofThat: But hey, speaking of Ikea and famous designers, Verner Panton did design a chair for Ikea, though it didn't sell well -- even in the secondary market. (Maybe people find it too derivative of Gerrit Rietveld?)

    I think clustering framed works on a wall like that is a new trend of sorts. This isn't the first time I've seen this done. #twitter
