An edit of premium tech essentials for the ultimate home office

Nothing ruins your day (or spine) faster than a bad chair. The Herman Miller range is the gold standard in seating—breathable, posture-correcting, and built to last decades. It’s not just a chair; it’s a daily investment in your back. We suggest you check out the Herman Miller Embody or Aeron, loved by professionals who sit for long hours, coders, designers, editors, and executives alike.

2. The Display: Monitor Matters

For creatives, designers, and professionals who need top-tier visuals, the 5K Retina display of the Apple Studio Display is a showstopper. Precision-calibrated colour, centre stage camera for video calls and minimalist design that transforms your workspace into a creative cockpit. Paired with a Mac Studio or even a MacBook Pro, it elevates your setup to a near-cinematic quality, both in performance and presentation.

3. The Typing and Navigation

Logitech MX Keys S are crafted for comfort and precision. Its low-profile keys offer fluid, ultra-responsive typing with just the right amount of tactile feedback. The smart backlighting auto-adjusts to ambient light and only activates when your hands approach. With support for macOS, Windows, and even Linux, it can seamlessly switch between up to three devices at the tap of a button.

5. The Lighting

It’s not just about being able to see your keyboard. Good lighting sets the tone for your entire day. It sharpens your focus during deep work hours, softens the strain during late-night grinds and makes those back-to-back calls feel a little less exhausting.

The right desk light doesn’t just sit there—it works with you. It adapts to your space, lifts your mood, and keeps your eyes from hating you by 5 PM. And if it looks great while doing all that? Even better. Philips Hue Play Light Bars’ position-anywhere RGB lights can be mounted behind your monitor or placed flat on your desk. Sync them with your PC, music, or work hours using the Philips Hue app or Bridge system, and they’ll shift tones dynamically, from cool whites for high-focus mornings to warmer hues for winding down.

Need to charge your MacBook, plug in a second monitor, transfer files from a hard drive, and connect your camera, all at once? No problem. It delivers 85W of power for your laptop, 15W fast-charging via USB-C, and handles high-speed data like a breeze. Whether you're a creative pro editing large files or just someone who juggles multiple devices all day, this dock keeps everything connected without the clutter.

We spend nearly a third of our lives working. If we spend that time hunched over dim screens, surrounded by wires and distractions, it’s not just our bodies that suffer, it’s our output. So go ahead, design a desk that’s worthy of your ambition. After all, the corner office is now just a few feet from your kitchen.
