Faceted Catch-All Tray

GIVE THE LITTLE THINGS ONE PLACE TO LAND.

Paper clips, a USB stick, the sticky-note pad you keep losing: every desk has a handful of small things with nowhere to go. This faceted octagonal tray gives them a home. Its twisted, sculpted walls look like a small ceramic piece on the desk and hold a real day's worth of essentials in a 10 cm footprint. Drop things in, and you'll find them on the first try.

WHY IT EARNS ITS PLACE ON YOUR DESK

• Catches the everyday strays — sized for sticky notes, clips, earbuds, a flash drive and a pen or two, all in one glance.
• Reads as decor, not storage — the faceted, twisted profile catches the light like a sculpted object, in matte white, grey or black to match your setup.
• Keeps items from spilling over — 3.5 cm walls hold contents in place when you slide the tray or bump the desk.
• Takes up almost no room — at 10 cm across it sits beside a keyboard, a monitor foot or a lamp base without crowding anything.
• Arrives ready to use — one piece, nothing to assemble. Unbox it and set it down.
