When you get home, open the door, pick up the mail, where do you drop all of your things? In our house, that place (on top of something called a pie safe in the hallway) is such a mess. I mean, a big, paper-covered, key-tangled, loose change mess.
When the pile gets so high it topples over, then I clean it. Or rather, it cleans itself by toppling over.
So, I’ve been looking for a desk organizer that can fit in our (kind of) modern home and looks neat but not too “office-y”. Lo and behold, I found it.
Check out this desk organizer by Kaiju Studios. The i/o (for in and out) organizer consists of modular ceramic and walnut elements which can be “plugged-in” to a sectioned felt and walnut base for customization. With its natural, warm materials that are ecologically responsible it is a nice break from the many metal and plastic desktop accessories out there.
The bad news: it’s not in production. Can’t get it. Anywhere.
The hunt continues.
Ahh, what’s a pie safe, you ask. It’s just that – a safe like cube (that is roughly 3 ft in all dimensions) with glass sides and vents. It’s where housewives (back in olden times) would put pies to cool but be “safe” from critters of both the two foot and four foot varieties. It came to us by way of Mom. And, no, it has never, in my lifetime, held pies.
