The world is getting smaller, particularly in Japan where everything is tiny to begin with. Japanese designer Toshihiko Hazama wants to make it smaller still.
The Box Office is almost exactly what the name suggests: An office in a box. But along the ‘less is more’ theme, there’s even less to this innovation than meets the eye.

For a mere $1800, you could own one of these depressing state-of-the-art sign-of-the-times, but even those with a penchant for minimalism will find themselves longing for a window or a single moment of human contact, even the constant reminder of the benefits of the correct use of TPS Report cover pages.
