Back to the office

Back to the office
As everyone heads back to work, whether that be into the office or the classroom, having an organised desk space is essential. Finding the balance between utility and aesthetics is key to creating a work environment that feels both productive and inviting.

From writing tools such as our Golden Bullet pens to playful desktop storage such as our Colour Crates, our office items make going back to work or school not only easier, but more fun too.


How to organize the workspace?

A functional layout has soothing properties that will make you more productive. If you have a lot of office supplies, treat yourself to some boxes like our Tool Box by the designer Shane Schneck.

The importance of good lighting

Workplace lighting plays a crucial role in productivity and well-being. 

It is always preferable to use lighting dedicated to your office in addition to ambient lighting. This lighting provides you with the lighting you need, at the exact location where you work – screen, work surface and adjacent spaces (storage, printer, etc.).

For this, we collaborate with Pierre Charpin, has thought of a nomadic lamp that you can move according to your desires and the place where you work, the PC Portable Lamp.

We also worked with the Japanese design team Branch, creating the SLANT lamp with a sober, monochrome silhouette. Through its bold, playful and destabilizing aesthetic, SLANT occupies the space in a singular way.

Our interior is an extension of ourselves, and our office should not be an exception to the rule

As you know, returning to work must not be synonymous with monotony. The office is our second home (see our first home, for some...), so don’t neglect it and take the time to create an environment where it will be good to live and work.
