Simply a desk covered in the soft velcro, and equipment on the desk covered in the hook velcro (on the base at least).
Things like coffee mugs, staplers and phones would not be knocked off the desk easily, and pc peripherals would not slide around (try putting a zip disc in an external drive with
one hand).
Also the soft desk material would be nice and warm to lean on...
Some kind of solid mat would be required for writing on and using a mouse (although an optical mouse may quite like the textured surface).

Perhaps an adaptation of this? (but much less fun) [Worldgineer, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 17 2004]

picking up a full hot mug of coffee might prove tricky |
|

A smooth upward pull should disengage the mug with minimal spillage. |

The act of Velcro(R) separation carries a high vexibel level for me. I also can't stand the feel of the other (the non-fuzzy "hook" ) side of the hook and loop interface. I did give this an uptick on the pastry meter, simply because I know a lot of people who should have something like this on their desk/work area. |
|
| |
The hook side only goes on the underside of stuff - i took into account the feel factor, and the hook velcro is nasty stuff, however, the soft velcro is lovely. |
|
| |
Also, anyone trying to pinch your stapler when you are busy or snoozing, will be given away by the tell tale tear... |
|
| |
If the screens around your deskicle are also covered with loop side velcro, you can keep some items, there, thus freeing up valuable desk space. |
|
| |
ah yes, utilize the previously unused space. Not just the cubicle walls and desk top though. Any item and surface can be covered. Possibilities are endless, really. |
|
| |
(upon further reflection)......one may end up with a different sort of clutter problem then. Also, is it really an original idea if I can already purchase such items? |
|
| |
Do you work on a boat? Why are your stapler and phone falling off your desk so often? |

//A smooth upward pull should disengage the mug with minimal spillage.// I really think you should experiment with this in the name of health and safety. I can see the whole lot going over your papers. |

What's spilling coffe on your papers got to do with health and safety? |

Possibly a link would clear up as to where i might purchase a velcro covered desk and accessories. |
