Today we paused work at The LADG offices to conduct a surprise candid camera shoot of our own desks. Stopping arbitrarily at about 1:22pm, we documented the contents of each desk. The results are equal parts excruciating (Ben’s reading a copy of DWELL? An issue entitled Cheap and Chic, no less?), gross (Andrew’s desk plays host to a greater number of week-old food items than architectural implements), and eye-rollingly predictable (Noah ”accidentally” composed a still life of Architectural Record, a fresh orange, and VINTAGE RayBan Wayfarers). Where is a shred of architectural mystique? The evidence of big ideas? The material culture of design?
Ben's Desk - Excruciating
Andrew's Desk - Gross
Noah's Desk - Eye-rollingly Predictable
One ray of hope: we all have snotty headphones. In fact, in every case, the headphones cost more than our disposable Ikea desks. Or maybe that just means we think ignoring each other is worth a capital investment.
