Coffee mug, Loaf

Are you particular about which mug you drink out of? We don’t blame you. That’s why we’ve chosen this elegant mug from Loaf, which is wonky in all the right places. We love the rhubarb colour, but if pink’s not your thing, there’s a wide range of others to choose from.

Porcelain teapot, Pangaea

Cosy up to a hot cup of tea from Pangaea’s teapot, which will sit conveniently on your desk, while looking sophisticated. Made of porcelain and finished with a handle made of bamboo, the kettle is available in off-white or black – both of which have a matt finish.

Studio desk, Cox & Cox

So, now you have a brand spanking new office, of course you need a desk to place everything on. And our current favourite is the studio desk from Cox & Cox. Inspired by Danish design, the tubular frame and floating cabinet gives a striking look, complemented by the contrast of the dark lacquered wood frame with the natural wood finish.
