The Pop-Up 'Standby Office' Gives You Mobility and Privacy

— February 26, 2009 — Tech
Workplace undergoing renovations? Need to get away to a quieter corner of the house to get things done? Running a shady ‘business’ just one step ahead of the law? Boss having a hissy fit? Well, you can pop open the new German-designed Standby Office ANYWHERE and have an instant corporate corner. (You just have to supply a computer and chair. And a warm body, of course.)

Hey, $6,000 isn’t bad if I can just wheel my home office away from my husband when he’s in a mood, or my teenager when she’s convulsed with dramatics!
