For me, it's not so much about coding furniture as it is coding environment ;)

Over the past 4 or 5 years, I have become accustomed to programming in a certain set of conditions. While I can still program effectively in other climates and environments, nothing beats what I have going at work ;)

So what is that perfect environment? For me, its having a chair that reclines, has armrests, and a back high enough to set my head against. It's having a 21" monitor with at least 1600x1200 resolution so I can look at lots of perl scripts at once ;) It's having a desk that I can put my feet up on comfortably. It's about having a lava lamp that I can stare at while looking for ideas. And it's about having no windows, so nothing disturbs the perfect mixture of ambient light produced by the lamp and the monitor. And it's about having headphones that drown out all external interferences.

I have almost managed to duplicate this environment at home, but I don't want/dare to drown out the fiancee' ;)

Perhaps I am a bit strange. Perhaps not ;)
