About

We, as modern workers, spend an inordinate amount of time sitting at a desk. Shouldn’t it be a place that inspires us?

The goal of The Well-Appointed Desk is to feature:

inspiring desks and work spaces (from home office to working studios)
tools we use (from pens and pencils to computer applications)
gentle reminders that sometimes, the best tool for the job is pen and paper
vintage and modern wares for the office
accoutrements (from pencil cups to binder clips)
links to other sites with a passion for office supplies, paper goods and writing instruments
and to infuse joy, beauty and whimsy into day-to-day office drudgery

Things we (probably) won’t be covering:

Craft rooms (though I love a good craft space, lots of other sites cover this topic so we’ll be focusing on the business-side of the well-appointed desk)
Super Kawaii (I love fruit-scented, shaped erasers as much as the next person but I’ll try to keep this a little more upscale than that — I’m not making any promises though!)

As a self-professed lover of office supplies and paper goods, it seemed only fitting that I share the great finds and inspiration.

Please let me know if you find anything that should be added to the site.

Thanks for visiting!

Hi – I check out your website often for enjoyment and inspiration. Question – I found a vintage desk accessory item in an antique shop, bought it, but now I’m thinking of selling it. I don’t have an account on etsy or ebay. Can you suggest somewhere that I could post it? Possibly does your site post such things? If you’d like to see it, I can send a photo – just tell me how to. It has a wooden base, a well for resting your writing instrument, a teal ink bottle for filling with ink, and a little “bookcase” with matchbox sized boxes for reinforcements, labels, etc. between 2 wire “bookends.”
Thanks, Carol

I am developing a product that may fit in well with the context of your website.

For artists and notetakers who are still in love with the pen… and their iPad

I hope you’ll take a moment to look and if you like it perhaps post it on your site.

NOTEBLOX – the magnetic, stackable iPad journals

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1582711633/noteblox-magnetic-stackable-ipad-journal

The NOTEBLOX are simple blank paper journals, with 12 neodymium magnets built into the back and front cover. The magnets hold the iPad in the back, and pens, pencils, styluses and other NOTEBLOX on the front. The magnetic binding system provides a simple and convenient package for carrying your notebook, stylus, pen and iPad together. When you’ve filled the pages the NOTEBLOX remains a clever object and is designed to be archived, rather than discarded.

thank you,

benjamin
