To remove the dust from the term “office” and give the visuals revolving around it a fresh and friendly face, too, the creative minds at Vexels designed a set of 32 office-themed icons. The icons come in AI, EPS, SVG, and TIFF formats and can be downloaded for free.

The web has changed the way we work. Startups rethought what offices look like, and with a laptop in your bag, you can get work done from anywhere anyways — no matter if it’s your desk at home or the cozy coffee shop around the corner. Over are the times of dark and stuffy cubicles — in many companies, at least.

To remove the dust from the term “office” and give the visuals revolving around it a fresh and friendly face, too, the creative minds at Vexels designed a set of 32 office-themed icons. And, well, it includes all the essentials that help us get work done: from the headphones you put on when you need to focus, to your favorite mug that gives you that extra caffeine shot on a long day, and the paper airplane you might fold in a lengthy meeting. The icons come in AI, EPS, SVG, and TIFF formats and can be downloaded for free.
