These remind me of the various YouTube channels I have seen pop up over the last few years focusing on 3d printing and organization, usually of clean workshops or sterile computer desks.

They are usually very pretty and well edited, with impressively done voice overs. They are also usually about aesthetically organizing and displaying an exacting set of objects that can't be changed without breaking out the fulfillment.

I guess aspirational and satisfying to look at, but pretty useless in terms of actual working space organization. Should probably play "A Little to the Left" and get your pattern matching fix that way.

Not one creator's workspace is a messy hoard? This is an idealic, oh crap we better clean up before the photographer arrives, fantasy.

Here are a few non-staged setups: https://workspaces.xyz/p/70-alex-wilhelm https://workspaces.xyz/p/296-alex-nicolai https://workspaces.xyz/p/337-jason-levin

These look like real desks people actually work at!

Why are these not on the homepage...

What Im doing wrong? I have a 50 bucks IKEA table with scrathed surface, a screen from 2008 and a chair for 10 bucks I bought from the last companies shut down. And no, this is not fancy :-D :-D but it does the job :)

The main thing it having an environment that facilitates you and your creativity. If that works for you, than that works for you

Or simply: that's what fits my home and what I can afford.

I work in a tiny room and the only place a desk fits is in the corner, so I have a small corner desk that fits there, with a ultra wide monitor, but I have to keep the laptop closed because I don't have space on the desk. Also a trackball because it's too cramped for a mouse.

Very interesting, thank you. For designers and similar creatives, I'm surprised that there isn't more artwork. Also, the workspaces - the desks and especially the monitor screen area - are much smaller than I expected.

A lot of designers are definitely running similar setups right now!

Yes, indeed! The similarity across place and profession is hard to believe. Is there some other explanation other than all these people - many professional designers - making the same design choices? Maybe something to do with how they were chosen or what questions were asked or who responded?
