Want to put a little "wow" into your workspace? These punchy bookends, minimalist organisers and desks designed to soothe your aching back are among our must-haves. We want to say that they'll increase your productivity, but with items this pretty, we can't guarantee it.
Bland,
Bland,clinical and lacking any sort of personality, office
desks are often mundane and monotonous at best - and a mess at
worst. Yet you spend a large amount of time in your workspace, so
it's only right to treat it to a bit of individual flair. Having
somewhere that you feel comfortable can boost confidence and
inspire creativity - at least, that's what we're telling HR.
Here, we've covered all the essentials - yes, a Chrisitan
Lacroix notepad ranks pretty highly on our must-have list - fixed
the on-going office temperature argument and bottled our favourite
scents from a Tel Aviv perfume atelier to mask the smelliest of
desk lunches.
Must-have desk gadgets to boost productivity (and look
pretty).
