When we began Sight Unseen almost seven years ago (why yes, it is our birthday coming up, thanks for asking), we made one decision that, while prophetic, was relatively unpopular at the time: We would have no office. Of course, this was before terms like the “gig economy” or the “sharing economy” took hold, and before things like Uber Eats, Slack, and Dropbox made working separately from home such a breeze. (Just kidding, we still don’t understand what Slack is.) In the time since — though we wouldn’t necessarily trade our work-from-home situation just yet — we’ve come to be nostalgic for some aspects of the workplace. The shared camaraderie, the random snacks — heck, we even began to miss having a proper office chair after spotting the prettiest one we’ve ever seen, the ultra-customizable Kinesit chair from Arper, at the Milan Furniture Fair a few years back.

So when Arper recently reached out and offered us the opportunity to design our own Kinesit, we jumped at the chance. The seat comes with four legs or five, with casters or without, with arms or not, at three different seat heights and a dizzying array of Kvadrat fabrics that you’re supposed to have fun mixing and matching. We devised a sort of chambray-on-denim color scheme — the Canadian tuxedo of office chairs, if you will — that you can see in the image above. We had so much fun doing it that we began to fantasize about what it would look like if we really could decorate a space that might ultimately represent Sight Unseen as a brand to friends and potential clients. Seven years ago, places like Heartwork or Poppin didn’t even exist. Now, there’s an insane amount of incredibly chic stuff, if only you know where to look. Here, we’ve gathered 35 examples of our favorite desks, chairs, lights, and other accessories for creating the stylish office of your dreams.
