Puzzle-Inspired Stationery Boxes

'Boites pour le bureau' Let Users Play Tetris While Organizing

— June 24, 2011 — Eco
These 'Boites pour le bureau' stationery boxes are sure to please puzzle fans and eco-conscious office workers alike. Not only does it provide a place for neat freaks to organize their pens, paper clips, push pins and elastic bands, but users literally have to take each storage compartment out of its carefully put-together packaging and rearrange the pieces so that it suits their office configurations.

The 'Boites pour le bureau' roughly translates to "office boxes" and are the work of French design company Adonde¿?. They come in three vibrant color varieties and are made entirely from recycled materials.

Buyers should be wary though. If you accidentally open the packaging without intending to use the 'Boites pour le bureau' immediately, you may find yourself in a long impromptu session of Tetris.
