The Inspired Workspace: Interior Designs for Creativity & Productivity - Hardcover

Is your workspace just a desk - or a wellspring of creativity that houses your inner muse? Is it just a room - or a borderless arena that motivates you to perform at your best? Whether you are a designer or programmer, a master artist or a manager, this guide offers advice on creating an inspired workspace. This book features design advice that is both practical and philosophical, as well as profiles of professionals and creatives who work in spaces that inspire and motivate them.

From corporate common space to the office cubicle, this book shows how workspace can set the stage for creativity.
