Fonteyn midcentury-style desk by Steuart Padwick for Made.com

Posted on | Leave a comment

Font

Regular readers might recall that we recently featured the Fonteyn dressing table, which was available at Made.com. Well, that same site has a variation on the theme in the form of this Fonteyn desk by Steuart Padwick.

Another exclusive to the online design site, it's one of the coolest desks we've seen for a long time. Taking the midcentury era for inspiration, the Fonteyn desk is made of oak and walnut, with those tapered legs mixing it with the curved of the actual desk, finished off with a couple of drawers and a clear lacquer to show off the grain of the wood. Perfect for letter writing or a laptop we think.

The full price is £1,100, but as ever, if you order within the limited period at Made.com, you get get it for much, much less. How much? £279 if you order in the next six days.

Block notes from Suck UK – Tetris style post-its

Posted on | Leave a comment

Block notes
Though they don't say it by name, it's easy to recognise what has inspired these Block notes from Suck UK: with their interlocking shapes, you can have hours of fun rearranging them as though you were playing a game of Tetris. 

Fun, certainly, but also possibly useful – the long strips can be used for marking pages, the square ones scribbling longer notes. In fact, with all the blocks together, you can over 100 sheets worth of sticky notes. The number of different arrangements that can be made using one pack of the note pads is less obvious…

A set of the notes costs £7.50.

Your little darlings are probably more likely to do their homework on a laptop than writing in an exercise book, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t still give them a good old-fashioned desk to sit at, like this Ethan School Desk.

Inspired by school desks from the 1950s and 1960s, the design has been updated by using a sleek white finish. The tilt and height of the desk can be adjusted, so your kids won’t outgrow it too quickly. It is currently on sale with the price reduced from£322 to £229.98.

eBay watch: 1950s George Nelson desk by Herman Miller

Desk

Sadly the auction is out of America, but the seller does offer worldwide shipping of this stunning 1950s George Nelson desk by Herman Miller.

we actually featured this desk in 2007 when it was reissued, with an asking price of a hefty £2,936. We're not sure if this is an original 1958 version or a reissue, but either way, it's an official one by Herman Miller, which is the important thing.

Solid walnut sides, a white laminate top, four hardwood dividers, chrome-finished steel-tube legs, adjustable glides and a 'grommet' for cable management are the features, with the seller claiming it is in 'excellent condition' and 'shows hardly wear'. Bidding right now is at £6.20.
