When it’s been a long day at work and you’re sapped of any energy you require to pack up your belongings and scurry home, you’ll need to facilitate the process. A briefcase doesn’t come close to fitting your whole workstation in it like the Cyber Box does. It’s a cubicle on the move that, when on your way out, forces you to take the elevator.

Designer Jacky Nicolas wanted to give workers a way to lock up their computer into an elegant case when not in use. It was designed for home use, but I can imagine this working well in the cubicle-ridden world of business.  It’s like a collapsible fortress of solitude that you can lock up to keep Lex Luthers (your co-workers) away from.  You can bet that with a base made of beechwood, chromium metal parts and industrial castors, the Cyber Box doesn’t come in cheap.  Although, if you’re Bill Lumburg it won’t matter.

It might not be the coolest LEGO set to date, but it certainly is an impressive display of building blocks directly inspired by Team Fortress 2. It’s the engineer’s sentry gun from the game, used to tear through hordes of enemy scouts rushing to grab your team’s briefcase (or flag).

It was created by Steve Barker who says he’s more proud of this creation than any of his others so far.It looks nice, but can it withstand the firepower that a LEGO Johnny Five’s laser beam can distribute? Doubtful, considering how easily sentry guns are taken out in game.

Designer Soojin Hyun has created a unique take on an office workplace by adding an adolescent fort feeling to a workers surroundings. It’s called “House on the Table,” and that’s essentially what it is – a house on a table. If anything, it’s a glorified cubicle without the carpeted walls.

It would boost a workers attitude more so than a traditional jail-like cubicle with interior decor that looks nicer than most homes. You can’t actually crawl inside of it like you would a traditional fort, but you can hang a “no girls allowed” sign on it to fend off the naysayers.
