An office space doesn't have to be all about business, especially if its occupant introduces some pieces from the D.E. Desk collection. A set of stationery that is just as artistic as it is functional, the D.E. Desk collection features items that will get the creative juices flowing in no time.
Designed by Australian designers Daniel To and Emma Aiston of Daniel Emma Studio, the D.E. Desk collection is comprised of eight items, some of which are more obvious than others. While the chrome container clearly holds pencils, the purpose of the crystal ball is a little more elusive. It happens to be made for elastic bands.
In addition to the stationery in the D.E. Desk collection, Daniel Emma also created Field, Vessel and Vera lines.
