The workplace could be less artificial, providing workers with fresh air, natural light, a human schedule and pace, signs of nature, and things of beauty. As with all things, enchantment usually asks for only a small libation poured in its honor: a lovely antique, a well-crafted chair, an artist's painting, a colored wall, a remarkable door, a lamp with personality, some hand worked clay, intimate lighting, a view of a landscape, a pleasing pot, a wondrous plant, a vase of flowers, access to a park, flowing water, a few inches of wood. We may need to pry ourselves loose from the clutches of function, profit, authority, and productivity that keep soul and work, enchantment and commercial life, at odds with each other.
— Thomas Moore, The Re-enchantment of Everyday Life
