We certainly wouldn't advocate turning your office, cubicle or home office into some kind of over-the-top dork theme park, but a few witty items carefully placed here and there can brighten up the dullest work space with some geek chic.

Having an office gives you the chance to display things you might not get away with (or indeed, want to get away with) at home. From magnificent magnets to clever clocks and wall decals, here's a choice of ten products that will help you geek-pimp your work space in style.







These Meninos coasters are styled after the iPhone's icons giving Apple fans somewhere cool to stick their cups. Made of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) with a durable vinyl finish and a rubber bottom to stop slips, the anally retentive among you could arrange them on the coffee table as precisely as they appear on the phone's homescreen, while the rest of us can mix 'em up as we see fit. Oh, and if the iPhone's not your thing, then Meninos also offers an Internet-themed set too.

Cost: $59.99







As well as adding a splash of color to your office walls, this poster will serve as inspiration, reminding you that a small, simple idea can grow into big, fat success. The million dollar home page poster is an exact replica of the original Web page, measuring 60cm x 60cm with a gloss finish. Heck, if you're feeling flush yourself, you could even frame it.

Cost: $30







Let your visitors know that they are entering a geek domain right from the start with this recycled rubber doormat that is modeled after the "Enter" key. Designed by Pieter Woudt, there's also a "Home" key version if whoever you share a domicile with will let you get away with geeking out your porch.

Cost: $30







We can't think of a better way to stick your team pics to the fridge or filing cabinet than with these Photoshop-themed magnets, another little gem from Meninos. The set comprises 13 magnets which will be very familiar to anyone who has used the photo editing software as they replicate the menus and tool bars found in the popular Adobe product.

Cost: $25.00







As any fashion-lover will know, it's all about the accessories. In this case, the essential office accessory is the Red Swingline Stapler. Launched in 2002 after strong customer demand generated by the stapler's appearance in geek cult classic Office Space, the desk tool will elicit knowing approval from fans of the film. Just be sure to hide it when Lumberg's around.

Cost: $32.48 (on sale at the time of writing for $21.99)







What's the time? It's geek o' clock with these recycled Mac clocks offered by Etsy seller Pixelthis. The version pictured ($59) is the side panel of a retired Mac G4, upcycled into a working wall clock. There's a whole selection over on Pixelthis' Etsy shop, while commissions and customization of anything you want to send in to get the timepiece treatment are offered too, with price by negotiation.

Cost: Varies

Don't put up with boring chinaware, or worse still, ugly corporate freebie mugs. These officially licensed mugs from Pantone will delight anyone with an eye for color, or even a passing interest in design. The espresso set offers appropriate shades of coffee brown, whilst the more colorful set provides 10 shades — all marked with their Pantone reference, of course.

Cost: $50 and $120







By all accounts, the Googleplex is a place of wonder. You can emulate a little bit of that magic with the Google Bean Bag — the very same kind gracing the Googleplex. Who knows what kind of gProducts have been thought up while someone's posterior was placed on one of these things? Inspirational, indeed.

Cost: $109.40







The Art Lebedev Studio has transformed "Cancel," "Play," "Save," "OK," and other commands into real-life objects with a useful function — the thumbtack. You can opt for the mixed set, or if you're feeling particularly positive, go for the "Everything Is OK" set which is made up, as you might have already guessed, of just the "OK" pins. We simply can't think of a better way to secure items to a bulletin board.

Cost: Approx $6







Blik offers a way to geek up your blank walls that is ideal for the commitment-phobe: Vinyl decals that can be peeled off it you get bored of them, or if your office landlord has a tizzy when he/she sees them. There are a few designs available that will turn your wall into a scene from a Super Marios Bros. game, or the classic Space Invaders. There are some pretty cool robots, too.

Cost: Varies
