29 Wild Workstations for Telecommuters

From Pop-Up Pods to Sleek Office Loungers

— June 28, 2009 — Tech
These wild workstations are perfect for telecommuters or anyone else who works remotely. From sleek office loungers with floating monitors and laptop-friendly recliners to pop-up pods that install in minutes, home workers aren’t forced to conduct business at a standard rectangular desk anymore.

Click through the slideshow below to see these and more wacky workstations.

Implications - The Internet has allowed for mass amounts of the population to work from home, which is a great idea in theory; however, many have trouble with the idea of focusing from home. This may be due to the lack of a professional atmosphere, which calls companies to create furniture that sets a more formal tone to a home.
