The interviewer may ask an "out of the box" question to get a less scripted, more honest answer. They want to gauge what IS important to you by asking what is not.

The interviewer wants you to choose an object in the office that you feel you could do this job successfully without. If you have not yet been to this company's office, think of a typical office and classic office supplies. Choose an object you either can do your work without or that you feel there is a better replacement for.
