Dominic Preston, The Verge’s London-based news editor, shares details about his home office setup, which he shares with his partner. Their workspace includes two standing desks—an Autonomous SmartDesk 2 and a pneumatic Bakker Elkhuizen model—decorated with cutting mats used as mouse pads. Preston uses a secondhand Herman Miller chair and a Mobvoi walking pad for morning exercise. His tech setup features an M2 MacBook Air connected to a Philips 24-inch QHD monitor and an older Acer monitor shared with a personal desktop PC. He uses a Logitech MX Keys S keyboard and MX Anywhere 3S mouse, alongside a Brio 500 webcam and an Anker Prime USB hub. Preston also collects film cameras, including a 1970s Canon EF SLR, and enjoys board games and Alien-themed collectibles. His cat, Noodle, often joins him at the desk, adapting to the standing desk’s movements. The office doubles as a guest room with a sofa bed. Preston balances work and personal interests, including food and fitness, while managing a cluttered but functional workspace in London. (Updated 23 Aug 2025, 22:58 IST; source: link)
