Monday Obsession: Tom Dixon Desk Organizer

There’s something to be said for everything on your desk belonging to a certain space: pens in one container, pencils in another, paperclips piled tidily in a dish. After all, the feel-good effects of having a neat and organized desk are scientifically proven. Take organization one step further and stash your office goods in vessels that are uniform color and material. Enter: Tom Dixon’s Cog Desk Tidy available at Horne, the Lancaster-based e-tailer.  A tribute to British engineering, the four-piece cog set is made from aluminum blocks which is then “brass plated, polished and lacquered” for a luxe industrial style. And, let’s be honest, coffee mugs really shouldn’t double as pen holders anyway.

The Details: Tom Dixon Cog Desk Tidy, $290 at Horne.
