Wood Boxes with Lacquered Lids

Wood Boxes with Lacquered Lids -- $ 29.00| Buy it here

I’ve never been into West Elm’s style ever, a bit too drab and generally unexciting for me. However they’re definitely on the right track here with these new wood boxes. Woodgrain combined with super glossy lacquer is  a great combination.

Material: Ash
Dimensions: Small 9″w x 4″d x 1.75″h, Large 12″w x 8″d x 4″h

Accordion Storage Folder

Accordion Storage Folder -- $ 95.00| Buy it here

It’s hard to tell how this differs from the Semikolon Rainbow File ($32). The corners and edges are reinforced with plastic for extra strength, so perhaps it would be a little more durable? Whichever one you prefer, the colors allow for easy sorting of your paperwork.

H 13.75″ W 9.75″ D 1.25″

Mayfair Steamer Secretary Trunk

Mayfair Steamer Secretary Trunk -- $ 3,995.00| Buy it here

I post this with considerable trepidation. On one hand, having a huge trunk to stuff all sorts of work papers and items plus a computer would be exceptionally nice in that you could close it all off and see a nice looking old trunk instead of a messy workspace. On the other hand it is absolutely huge and might look like an elephant in the corner, plus some people might assume you have a Real Doll in there, and that would not do your reputation any good whatsoever. So, it’s up to you to decide whether the risk is worth the advantage, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. (Also, if you’re into the antique steamer trunk thing, there’s a sizable collection of them (media stands, dressers, etc.) to check out at Restoration Hardware).

Crafted by antiques dealer and furniture maker Timothy Oulton of London, our oversized steamer trunk armoire is configured as an ingeniously designed secretary.
* Reproduction antique steamer trunk
* Handmade of distressed vintage cigar leather over a solid wood frame
* Accented with over 3,000 hand-hammered brass nailheads
* Features a pull-down desktop and multiple drawers, cubbies, wire management and bookshelves
* Stands on wheels for mobility and closes for storage and privacy
* Leather-bound corner brackets, leather-wrapped handles, oak slats with a tobacco finish and cast-metal antiqued hardware

Dimensions: 39″W x 29″D x 76″H

I don’t know about you, but I could use several of these to tidy up my stacks of magazines (all of which have flags of things to post or research) that currently take up most of my available desk space.

How often do we find ourselves with piles of magazines hard to access?
This rack is ideal for the storage of precious documents such as books, magazines, etc.
Bender comes as one whole sheet of metal. It’s easily folded and there’s no need for additional tools. Due to its vertical storage-system less space is utilized making it also ideal for tight areas.

This is an excellent example of a desk that will keep you on top of clutter, namely because there’s no place to stash it except in neat piles along the lower shelf. If that seems entirely implausible, the handy mobile cabinet keeps the clean lines yet has ample storage for your odds and ends.

A member of Herman Miller’s award-winning Lifeworkâ„¢ Portfolio, the Enchord Desk embraces a minimal aesthetic while boasting a useful design…The distinctive dual-level table design allows different zones to be designated for different materials, such as a computer for the upper surface and a printer for the lower.

Simple Felt Baskets

Simple Felt Baskets -- $ 60| Buy it here | [via]

Think of all the places you could use these- I especially like that they can be folded away when not in use, and it also certainly helps that they are now on sale.

‘Thick sheets of wool felt are precision cut and minimally stitched to give this “box” its shape. Useful for its ability to hold a wide range of notions, the Felt Basket is kind to walls and tabletops and won’t bruise or nick adjacent surfaces in the event of a bump. While utilitarian storage has its merits, this item’s soft architectural presence furthers its appeal. When not it use, it can be folded into a more compact shape for storage. The 100% wool construction is naturally dirt and flame resistant.’

Smith Storage & Stool by Jonathan Olivares

Smith Storage & Stool by Jonathan Olivares -- $ 599.00| Buy it here

This multipurpose unit serves as a detachable file cabinet, a stool, a rolling cart and stackable shelves. It’s also recyclable once the plastic wheels are removed.

“Smith’s features provide seven distinct functions; a container providing space for storage, a cantilevered top allowing the object to be hung from a table, a flat upper surface serving as a side table or temporary seat, handles to facilitate moving, wheels for carting, and a protruding bottom that allows the wheels to hang over the sides when multiple Smiths are stacked. Smith’s form is the result of a balanced ecology between these features and functions. This hybrid object is useful at a desk, a bedside, a sofa or a dining table and avoids classification into one specific typology. Ultimately it is the user who will come to define Smith through its use.”
