Although work is an important part of life, it should not be allowed to encroach on other areas as well. This can be prevented with the help of symbolic objects that will let you know when it is time to rest.
Which 8 office items can't successful businessmen imagine life without?
1. A spinning globe
Nigel Travis, former CEO of Dunkin' Donuts and owner of English football club Leyton Orient FC, is particularly attached to his spinning globe. The object, which he has owned for 8 years, reminds him of how small the world is thanks to globalization.
2. Favorite photo
Matt Barr, director of the sports agency All Conditions Media, is always accompanied by his favorite surfing photo at work. The video, shot in Val d'Isèr, France by Nick Hamilton, presents the role of sport in Matt's life.
3. Sloth
The desk of Dan Kieran, founder and CEO of publishing company Unbound, is a mess. Along with many photos and books, there is a plastic sloth on it, which symbolizes Dan's way of working. Like sloths, he does not like to waste time on unnecessary things.
4. The hawk
Patrick Grant, creative director of fashion brands E Tautz and Norton & Sons, owns a lot of unusual items. Among them, the hand-made hawk stands out the most, measuring as much as 37 cm in height. It was given to Patrick by a shopkeeper in Tokyo, Japan. A beautiful and rare object reminds him of hard work.
5. Achievements
The wall in the office of Rupert Rixon, founder of the digital agency Perspective Pictures, is decorated with newspaper clippings, photos, letters and other things that testify to the company's success. In this way, clients get to know the characteristics of the organization on their first visit to the office.
6. Beer cooler
Andrew Reeve, CEO and founder of online beer retailer HonestBrew, keeps a beer fridge hidden in his office. This is filled with rare beers from all over the world, including Shnoodlepip, which Andrew bought when the company was founded.
7. Bronze statue
Jamie Waller, managing director of Wisehill, swears by the art. He decorated his desk with two bronze statues. The Bull of Wall Street is accompanied by a bust of Jamie, given to him by his daughters.
8. Architectural model
Alistair Barr, founder of the architectural firm Barr Gazetas, keeps a model of the Danish museum ARoS on his desk. At the top of the cube-shaped building is a circular passage. The sculpture represents his view of architecture and creativity.
