=== Internet era === [[File:Capgemini employee cubicle São Paulo.jpg|thumb|A cubicle in IT company [[Capgemini]]'s [[São Paulo]] office]]In 1994 designer Douglas Ball planned and built several iterations of the [[Clipper CS-1|Clipper]] or [[Clipper CS-1|CS-1]], a "capsule" desk that resembled the streamlined front fuselage of a fighter plane. Meant as a computer workstation, it had louvers and an integrated ventilation system, as well as a host of built-in features typical of the [[ergonomic desk]]. An office space filled with these instead of traditional squarish cubicles would look like a hangar filled with small flight simulators. It was selected for the permanent design collection of the Design Museum in the United Kingdom.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Douglas Ball |url=https://www.hermanmiller.com/designers/ball/ |access-date=2023-08-15 |website=www.hermanmiller.com |language=en-US}}</ref> Many{{How many|date=April 2022}} cube farms were built during the [[Dot-com bubble|dotcom boom]] of 1997-2003.{{Citation needed|date=April 2022}} Between 2000 and 2002, [[IBM]] partnered with the office furniture manufacturer [[Steelcase]], and researched the software, hardware, and ergonomic aspects of the cubicle of the future (or the [[office of the future]]) under the name "Bluespace". They produced several prototypes of this hi-tech multi screened work space and even exhibited one at [[Walt Disney World]]. Bluespace offered movable multiple screens inside and outside, a projection system, advanced individual lighting, heating and ventilation controls, and guest-detecting privacy systems.<ref>{{Cite web |title=StackPath |url=https://www.buildings.com/industry-news/article/10195546/ibm-steelcase-form-office-alliance-unveils-bluespace-tech-office-of-the-future |access-date=2023-08-15 |website=www.buildings.com|date=21 January 2002 }}</ref>
