Christmas gift ideas for a functional office
It is an area dedicated to work, but also to leisure and relaxation. It is the space for home working, that turns into a versatile and welcoming setting, to decorate with useful and multifunctional objects. Functionality combines with design giving life to stylish accessories such as the Tab table lamp by Flos, the Inos box by USM and the practical Rotate trolley by &Tradition that can be transformed into a bedside table or a bathroom vanity unit.
Fun and playful, the round O-Tidy pen holder, designed by Michel Charlot for Vitra, comes from the fusion of two simple objects, a cup and a dish. Used as an organiser, it is available in different colours and it may also be added to office furnishings, making it less austere and rigorous. The ABS plastic ensures stability and its perfect proportions easily fit into all kinds of worktops.
Like a wave, the Wave organizer by Fritz Hansen, created by Japanese designer Hiromichi Konno, stands out for its forms, wavy and sinuous. A single piece of steel is shaped to become an object with a simple design, a modern reinterpretation of the classic desk storage. Covered in black leather, it is formed into folds that can either be used to store documents or as a tablet stand. A perfect Christmas gift idea to decorate any workspace with taste.
Iconic and ergonomic. The perfect adjectives to describe Varier’s Variable Balans office chair. Presented for the first time in 1979, it is undoubtedly one of the first prototypes able to exploit the balans concept, that respects the body's natural position, maintaining the natural curvature of the spine. A perfect accessory for home working, that facilitates intense daily work. The three main characteristics of the piece are: the tilted axis of the seat, the support of the knees and a pivot base. Made of ashwood, it is available in natural finish or lacquered black.
The furnishings from the famous USM brand are a great ally to decorate the workplace in a functional and elegant way, thanks to the wide range of colours available, about 14 shades. The Inos box, made of 5 drawers, is the perfect solution for those who are looking for a compact container to store documents or small items. Designed to be combined with USM Haller modular systems, the Inos box is practical and made entirely of steel to last over time.
A perfect synthesis of design and functionality, the Rotate trolley by &Tradition, designed by Space Copenhagen, can become a versatile storage item, thanks to its differnt sized compartments. Useful in the office as a trolley and document holder, it can be easily moved thanks to its discrete wheels. The tabletop with raised edges serves as a tray, the second compartment can store small items and the third one, the largest of all, is capable of storing folders and documents. It is made of powder-coated steel and is available in a variety of delicate nuances, from terracotta to ivory. Its design, inspired by Japanese origami art , is linear and clean, perfect to decorate even a home office.
Designed to be the small version of Tolomeo, the Tolomeo Micro table lamp by Artemide is the perfect solution for those who want a light to directly illuminate their worktop. Thanks to its body with aluminium movable arms and its spring balancing system, the diffuser can be easily turned in all directions to suit one’s own needs. The variety of shades available and the elegant design make it a charming and much cherished piece. Space-saving thanks to its small size, the Tolomeo Micro table lamp is equipped with a small practical lever that allows for its position to be adjusted ensuring absolute flexibility.
With a clean and appealing design, the Tab table lamp, conceived by E.Barber & J.Osgerby for Flos, shines with character and refinement. The body in painted die-cast aluminium ends in a roof-shaped diffuser that is rotatable between 90 to 180 degrees and is equipped with a multi-led system specially designed to avoid dazzle and shadows. The dimmable lamp also comes with a feature to avoid burns and direct light. Its warm and enveloping light is suitable for any setting and is perfect for illuminating workspaces.
