Objects for Small Desks
Objects for Small Desks

Series: Work

Objects that solve the specific problems of a small desk: no drawer, no room for a laptop and a monitor at once, and cables that take up the floor underneath. Each one adds a level, a drawer, or a hiding place without adding footprint. Selected for home offices in apartments, shared rooms, and corners that were never meant to be an office.

Five objects are shown here. The full collection on the Amazon storefront holds everything added since.

The power strip, off the floor.
