Keep the clutter on your desk at bay with this adorably-named desktop accessory holder. Sandwich on Rye is made of two [thin pieces of wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-shelf-pro), *not* the wheat grain, and holds thick pieces of felted foam that keep your [pens and pencils upright](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pareto-pot).

Sandwich on Rye was created by designer Haruka Nakai of [Design Office Switch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-clippen) and it was inspired by, you guessed it, a sandwich. This tidy office supply holder will not leave crumbs in its wake and costs $33.50.
