If the price is about the same, why does anyone go for glass & steel? This is so much better.

Personal preferences, design philosophies, lots of reasons. I find that office to be pretty unappealing, personally.

Same, I think it looks like they bought a bunch of expensive furniture for a renovated-in-the-90s-rambler. The juxtaposition and lack of dominant style isn't very appealing.

While it's refreshingly different to look at, I think that this look would get pretty tiresome after just a few week.

There's an ad agency here in Seattle called the Wexley School for Girls that has a crazy office space with an all-white room and a Chinese restaurant section, etc. Written about here: http://www.seattleite.com/creative-spaces-unique-seattle-off...

when I walk by, I always think it would be cool to work in a place like that, but I don't think I would enjoy it, long-term.

Naw, distressed wood and leather are fine, if they are thick to begin with .
