The desk is the working hub of the world, almost everybody has one and almost everybody designs theirs differently. Some like a minimal setup with a pen holder, an area for some snacks, and a computer. Others treat the desk as an extension of the home, filling it with stylish ceramics and personal pictures as well as the usual utilitarian suspects.

However you design your space, we’ve picked out some of the best desk accessories from New Tendency, Brain Dead, and Carhartt WIP to brighten your work station.
