Keeping It Together

Looking to round up stray papers and supplies? Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference! Like these Brass Foldback Clips from Present & Correct, which are sold in a box of 10 and come in two sizes. Bonus points if you create modern art by cleverly arranging your office supplies:

Present & Correct also offers a box of 20 Triangle Paperclips that help wrangle those loose papers…and may also make a great necklace if you string them together! Just a theory.

Add some color to your stash of supplies with these Signal Clips, which feature a range of colors and forms. While each bag includes 10, here’s a look at all of the interesting clip possibilities:

From papers to pencils and pens, you can keep your writing utensils handy and organized with this Brass Pencil Holder from ferm LIVING. Constructed of solid brass with matte polish, this practical piece is a true work of art:

‘Tis the season for pencil holders, and many of them are metallic. If you can’t decide on a gold, silver or copper finish, Anthropologie offers all three. Say hello to the Luster Trio Pencil Holder:

Who doesn’t love a good tray?! Not only do trays serve a practical function by helping hold, sort and separate items, they’re quickly becoming a desk accessory favorite.

ferm LIVING’s metal trays are crafted from perforated powdercoated metal, and they’re perfect for sorting and organizing desktop papers. They also come in a range of colors (as well as two different sizes). Aren’t we loving these on-trend hues?!
