I don't think it's unreasonable at all. I mean, perhaps the word "cool" is used too many times- I don't care if the furniture in my office is cool. But I have switched to a standing desk and love it- so an office with standing desks would definitely be an influencing factor when I choose where to work.

Isn't the magical thinking that this is set up to exploit another tell of a bubble?

"Selling Pickaxes During A Gold Rush"

In contrast to this 'cool office' wave, when the company I work for was acquired, we moved to a new office and we used furniture that the company who had bought us had in storage.

If this is not proof of a bubble, I don't know what is...

...Aeron chair anyone?
