The concept of coworking appeared in 2005, and since then it has been gaining popularity among freelancers and startups. With monthly fees starting from $200 for a shared workspace, it provides a cheaper and more exciting alternative to traditional offices. Here, independent professionals can enjoy enormous flexibility from a more dynamic working schedule to working at a standing desk or in a hammock if you please. Coworking spaces are not always just for people looking for a cheaper, productive alternative. In some cases, people want to be able to make work-life as enjoyable an experience as non-work life. Here is our list of upmarket shared offices across the globe, where you can bask in luxury and style while you work.
