Perhaps you are hopping back into work with renewed vigour and motivation or you may be dragging your feet into the office with your head still in beach holiday mode, either way nothing kicks off a new work year better than a bit of stationary shopping. This is our grown-up version of your “back to school” wish list featuring the most cutting edge local design office accessories.
Staircase Paperweight by Studiokyss
Keep that rapidly rising paper stack under control with the Staircase Paperweight by Studiokyss, the perfect meeting of artful consideration and simple functionality. It’s glistening polished brass finish will brighten up your desk and add a level of polish, all the while keeping that work-in-progress pile in check.

Blocchi Desk Organiser and Tombstone Mousepad by Dowel Jones
The perfect desktop duo, the Blocchi Desk organiser and Tombstone Mousepad, made by Melbourne based design studio Dowel Jones, are pared back to the simplest of shapes. This American Oak combo celebrates the beauty of natural timber and their minimal yet functional forms will invite a sense of calm and order to your work space.

Magnetic Tower by Hay X Daniel Emma
Sometimes it seems counter intuitive to add in order to take away clutter, but it’s objects like the Magnetic Tower by Adelaide studio Daniel and Emma that somehow manage to achieve a playful way to make sense of those random bits and pieces that float around your desk.

Polar Desk Lamp by Ross Gardam
We don’t condone working late into the night but sometimes it just cannot be helped. If so, we recommend lighting as aesthetically pleasing as the Polar Desk Lamp by Ross Gardam to illuminate your workspace in more ways than one. The circular disc offers flexibility in light direction as well as forming a unique, sculpture like feature for your desk top. Colour selections in dusk pink and midnight blue are subdued enough to maintain a calm palette yet supply a welcome pop of colour to liven things up in the office.

The Odd Couple Bookends by Hava Studio
Jovially named Curvy and Steppy, the Odd Couple Bookends by Hava Studio embody a contradiction of playful primary shapes alongside sophisticated material selection. These marble shapes are elegantly balanced upon a brushed brass base, a combination that is oh so easy on the eye. The perfect statement piece for your office bookshelf.
