DESK & STUDY

There's more to a good study session than a sharp pencil. A considered space — good light, a tidy surface, a scent that helps you settle in, a fidget toy to calm the senses, favourite pieces of stationery. It all makes the work itself feel a little less like a chore.

Whether it's a new term at school, a first year away at university, or simply a home desk in need of refreshing, a good space is worth setting up properly.

This collection brings together the small details to help shape a proper place to concentrate: notebooks and writing tools with Japanese craft and design behind them, alongside trays, little desk items and quiet fragrances that turn a work space into somewhere you actually want to be.

Some pieces are for the everyday scribble, others are the sort of thing you keep for years — either way, they're chosen to make studying (or simply sitting down to think) that bit more pleasurable or fun.
