I'm speechless at the spectacle that is 21st century office space modelled after the Nautilus (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea). Simply brilliant.

More design ideas than you can shake a stick at: maps, libraries, leather club room style sofas, pipe motifs, Victorian wallpaper, wonderful bight colors: yellow, teal, red, velvet curtains, chaise lounges,
And I *love* the space framing arches.
Some how-tos to pull out of it:
--Most of the work is done with a ShopBot CNC Router at $12,000 it's not a casual purchase, but cheaper than many cars.
--chandeliers with frilly Victorian lampshades (seems like this could be adapted easily)
--check out the lights, made from "a $10 ikea light turned upside down"
--the desks -- oh the desks -- would be substantially harder to make with a band saw, but not impossible.
(tip of the hat to Brass Googles)
Note that cut-outs too fine for a bandsaw can be done with a jigsaw, and cut-outs covering too large an area can sometimes be done with a saber saw or a router. (If the work will not come to the saw, the saw must go to the work...)
