About This Collection
Most home offices are also spare rooms, dining tables or a corner of the bedroom, so these office prints are chosen to work in a space that has to do two jobs. They fall into four groups.
Animals at desks is the strand made for the room. The Greyhound at Desk Print, the Border Collie at Desk Print and the Black Cat at Desk Print are joined by a yellow labrador and the Robot at Desk Print, which may or may not be a comment on the future of work. The Bear Writing Print is for anyone whose job involves words and deadlines in roughly equal measure.
Morning dogs are the best sellers here. The Whippet Morning Quote Print and the Greyhound Rise and Shine Print are the two most popular, and the Dog Print "Everything's Fine, I Think" is the one to hang where you'll see it during a difficult call. There's a chihuahua version with a coffee for the same feeling, slightly more caffeinated.
Typography with an attitude is where the office gets honest. The Running On Coffee And Spite Print, the Sorry I'm Late I Didn't Want To Come Print, Ask Me If I Care and Read The Room all say what a lot of people think by mid-afternoon. For the bookish end, the Abibliophobia Definition Print and the Resfeber Definition Print define the fear of running out of things to read and the restless feeling before a journey. The typography prints collection and the funny wall art collection have more.
Calm backdrops are for the wall behind you on video calls. The Fuji Minimalist Print, the Mount Fuji Teal and Bamboo Lattice prints, the Stacked Ovals Abstract Print and the Lake District Travel Print all look considered on camera without pulling focus from whoever's talking. The minimalist prints collection has more in the same spirit.
Where should office wall art go?
Behind the desk is the wall your colleagues see, so it suits calm, uncluttered office wall art: a Japanese minimalist print, an abstract or a landscape at A3 or A2. Busy typography behind your head tends to get read out loud in meetings.
In front of the desk, at eyeline when you look up from the screen, is the place for the print that's just for you. A desk animal, a morning dog or a sarcastic quote does its job here, several times a day.
In a spare room that doubles as an office, pick prints that work for both uses. The Japanese and travel prints suit guests as well as work, while the funnier typography is better kept to a room that's mostly yours.
For a small office gallery wall, mix one or two typography prints with calmer pieces from the mid-century modern collection or the literature prints collection, so the wall has a joke in it without being entirely made of them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of office wall art is in this collection?
The collection includes dogs, cats, a bear and a robot at desks; morning dog prints featuring whippets and greyhounds; sarcastic and funny typography prints; definition prints; coffee and wordplay prints; Japanese minimalist Mount Fuji prints; calm abstract prints; and a few travel prints of UK landscapes and coastline.
What wall art looks good behind a desk on video calls?
Something calm, with a clear shape and not much text. The Fuji Minimalist Print, the Stacked Ovals Abstract Print and the Lake District Travel Print all read well on camera at A3 or A2, and none of them will prompt a colleague to ask what your print says.
Are office prints good gifts for a new job or a colleague?
They're a good choice for a new job, a promotion or someone setting up to work from home, because they're personal without being sentimental. The desk animal prints suit dog and cat owners, and the typography prints suit anyone with a dry sense of humour. It's worth knowing your recipient before choosing the Here We F*cking Go Again Print, which says exactly what it says.
What sizes are available?
Most prints are available in sizes from 5x7 up to A1, with both metric and US paper sizes. Full size options are shown on each individual product page. Behind a desk, A3 or A2 reads well on camera and from across the room, while A4 suits a shelf or the wall right beside a monitor.
Can all prints be ordered framed?
Yes. All prints can be ordered framed. We're rolling framed options out across the site, so individual listings will show whether a framed version is currently available. If you'd like a framed version of a print that doesn't yet have that option listed, get in touch and we'll sort it for you.
What is the print quality like?
Prints are produced on FSC-certified 200gsm fine art paper using a 12-colour press with a matte, glare-free finish. The matte finish is useful in an office, where a glossy print would catch the light from a window or a screen.
Where do you ship and how long does delivery take?
We ship worldwide via Gelato's global print network, meaning your order is fulfilled close to where you live. Every print is made to order and dispatched promptly, then arrives within 2 to 5 business days of dispatch. Free shipping applies to US and UK orders.
