Fashioned by the Dutch interior design firm Tim Vinke, the jigsaw-like setup, which goes by the awesomely beastly name "Kruikantoor," is, appropriately, a combination of the Dutch words for "wheelbarrow" and "office."

It assembles to create a complete office environment, with two chairs, a table (desk), storage units, and even electrical outlets. Running late to a big meeting? Not a problem, it packs up in a jiffy and rolls away dolly-style when you're ready.
