Puddle-Like Desk Organizers

The Pol Collection by Caroline Gomez is Simple and Organic

— November 16, 2012 — Art & Design
French designer Caroline Gomez has brought her signature simple and organic style to the office with the Pol Collection. A set of desk organizers inspired by puddles, which is what the name of the Pol collection means in Swedish, the shapes are rounded in a slightly abstract manner.

The Pol Collection is comprised of two pieces. The first is called Tablette. Tablette sports slots made specifically to hold papers, notebooks and pencils. The second has been dubbed Plateau and it is more of a general storage tray. It can hold everything from stamps and paperclips to tape and sticky notes. Both are made out of beech wood like her past creations including the Contre Collection, torche lamp and TRA Collection.
