Oliur’s gear

9 items.

On the desk9

  • Accessories ULX Leather Desk Mat Shop

    A product from my own store. Makes a big difference on any desk. Adds some luxury whilst feeling soft, and makes it easy to glide your mouse over.

  • Desk Flexispot Standing Desk

    The standing functionality is great but not a huge fan of the desk top itself, so I’ll be changing that at some point, but the most impressive thing for me is the quietness of the motor.

  • Computer 2021 MacBook Pro 14”

    This is my main work machine and it’s fantastic. Everything I wanted from a laptop. Super fast and handles all of my design needs in Figma, photo editing in Lightroom and video editing Final Cut Pro. Mine has the M1 Max 24-core chip, 32GB RAM and 2TB SSD.

  • Monitor Pro Display XDR

    Very expensive monitor but it’s been a great investment for me. It’s great having more screen estate for work, really makes a difference in all of my work.

  • Monitor Arm Herman Miller Ollin Monitor Arm

    I needed a high quality monitor arm for my heavy Pro Display XDR and this does a great job.

  • Hub / Dock Anker Apex Thunderbolt Dock

    I connect to everything through this. Makes it easier to connect up any accessories.

  • Chair Herman Miller Cosm Shop

    Fantastic looking office chair that is ideal for anyone looking for a proper office chair. Very comfortable and I think one of Herman Miller best designed products.

  • Storage IKEA Besta Shop

    I have a 120cm wide IKEA Best unit next to my desk that holds random accessories.

  • Storage Dwell Molveno Sideboard

    Behind the desk I have a great looking sideboard from Dwell, made from walnut with a marble top. Great way to add different textures and materials to my office.
