working at the dining room table may not be the most viable long term

solution.

inspiration and motivation you need for a productive day. Here are

some ways to brighten up your new WFH corner.

If you require your desk to do double duty, the Solek can converted from a work table to a vanity table.

Vegetable tanned leather laces wrap around half-lap joints of the solid oak legs are a charming detail.

Good lighting is essential and Aureole Design’s sleek luminaires are pleasing to the sight. We love the Geometry

series featuring a “steam” finely folded from ceramic or terrazzo, and a Edison bulb in soothing shades of mint

green and off white.

For those with limited desk space, consider the Dougong floor light, whose interlocking wooden structure was

inspired by traditional Chinese architecture. Lightweight yet rigid, it gives the illusion of a 'floating' light

Google calendars are dandy but an elegant appointment book never goes out of style. Customise one from ana

tomy’s classic series which allows you to pick every single component from the cloth or paper cover to the

multi-coloured book band and ribbon markers - even down to the binding wires which come in rose gold ,

black and silver, among others. Most importantly are inserts which range from papers in blank, ruled, dotted or

grid formats, annual calendar, to-do lists, perpetual monthly and weekly planner as well as layouts for learning

and progress tracking.

Work days usually start with a cup of coffee or tea; choose to make your morning ritual special with some

hand-thrown ceramic vessels from thirty3evelen, whose ethereal pieces add a sense of occasion to even the most

banal morning. The Laine mug is a beauty that belies a painstaking handmade technique. Its multiple facets

come from being crafted out of 15 individually cut pieces, laboriously joined together to create a whole piece.

A breakaway in form, the Fold Cup, also from thirty3eleven, overlaps on both ends, forcing the user into

contemplating how things are made while the bottom is left unglazed to expose its raw clay colour.

Pretty Accents

Last but not least, add some colour and greenery with fresh flowers. Keep a smaller arrangement on your desk

so that it’s not overpowering in both smell and look. Bentuk Bentuk’s faceted sphere pot in just the right size

for a few stems. For longer term solutions, consider planting a succulent or cactus that requires minimum

maintenance. Match your planter with these local handmade concrete brand’s desk accessories ranging from

phone holders, coasters, trays and canisters in artfully swirled concrete.
