In praise of George, the office dog

If you’re lucky enough to work in a studio with an office dog then this one’s for you. We’ve been inspired by the arrival of George, the newest — and most definitely the cutest — addition to the Studio Prineas team. “We bought him for our boys,” says Studio founder, Eva-Marie Prineas. “But he comes to work with me and is now my third child.”

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that pets reduce stress, and studies have shown that bringing them into the workplace only helps spread the joy. And for the design obsessives among us it’s also a great excuse to invest in some super cool new accessories — like this handmade ceramic bowl (pictured) by Melbourne’s Anchor Ceramics. Why settle for plastic when you can have this beauty? You’re not only contributing to the greater aesthetic good of your office environment, you’re also supporting local makers — win, win! We’re also loving Aesop’s Animal fur wash. If your pooch looks as good as ours he might as well smell divine too, right? And for the Minimalists among you, why not try this sleek timber indoor dog house with optional linen cover. Can a pooch be too pampered? We don’t think so.
