Summary/Abstract: In my dissertation research I work on Workspace in Warsaw’s corporations. In this article I present a part of the creation of the space formed by the suppliers of equipment and services for offices. Despite my experience of cooperation with people creating office spaces, I have never focused on this phenomenon in terms of sociological issues. Ones again being a member of the Fair “Office Days”, I decided to look more closely at the proposed solutions and trends, which follow suppliers. More than once, I was surprised by the exhibitors, who proposed an unreal vision of the ideal world, free from flaws not only regarding objects but also people. I realized that the “ideal office needs perfect employee” where employee should not embarrass colleagues who belong to this space. This vision reminded me of hyperspace proposed by J. Baudrillard, where hyperreal has become more important than the true or actual reality as a result of the replacement of signs of reality.
