Although I can't recall the last time I needed to use a calculator (though as a writer, one is pretty darn necessary), I would punch away constantly if I had the Monacca wood calculator. As sleek and sophisticated as it is sustainable, it would be a great addition to any home or office.
Designed by Takumi Shimamura, the Monacca wood calculator was shown at the recent International Contemporary Furniture Fair. Part of a larger collection that included bags similar to those found in their 2007 line (see below), it's no wonder why people keep returning to the Monacca brand.
