Utensil tray oak and maple

These desk utensils also take into consideration as designed objects: they are simple shelves made of oiled oak and maple wood. They come from Steinhöring, Bavaria, and their dimensions are coordinated so that the individual elements can be combined. The smaller of the two pen trays with recessed grip - originally developed for the presentation of writing instruments in stationery stores - is manufactured in Steinhöring according to our specifications as a result of never-ending customer requests. It completely sums up the idea of "less is more" and accommodates a single writing instrument, i.e. the one that is used most often. All trays are provided with four plastic feet each for the protection of the desk surface.

In desk matters, the working world is divided into "full-cabinet makers" and "empty-cabinet makers". The one likes a work surface overgrown with thousands of things, the other a place of action of almost Japanese-like emptiness. If you ask the experts, the "empty-desk person" has a clear advantage: they say that for the sake of concentration and order of thoughts, as little as possible should be stored, but that it should be well sorted and quickly accessible. And in order that this rather simple wisdom can also be applied with scientific dignity, it is chased through the village or through the office rooms as a "Clean Desk Policy". The claimed "new clarity" is, however, quite the old one - the well-known designer's saying of "less" being "more" is and was, after all, also valid in the working environment.
