# Exhibited Implement Sets Toolkit by Bertrand Besnard Presents the Often Forgotten Office Supplies By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-01-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toolkit-by-bertrand-besnard References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/45532/) & [bertrandbesnard](http://www.bertrandbesnard.com/index.php?/projects/toolkit/) A workstation stash is nothing without the presence of paper fasteners, but inconveniently, those tiny pieces are very easy to lose. Toolkit by Bertrand Besnard is a [playful adaptation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forming-function-nomad-collection) of the conventional [pen holder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pareto-pot) which serves to present one plainly with the nuts and bolts of a productive desk. Each of the four implements is elevated on the end of a pencil-sized stick to position its tip above the rim of the container. A delightful green triangle holds a cluster of 20 thumbtacks and a spatula-like paddle is fastened with a row of [paperclips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-clip). The other two utensils in this desktop Toolkit by Bertrand Besnard are a magnifying glass and a clock. The former helps one locate the small and essential bits and pieces, while the latter reminds you to stay on task.
