2. House by John Lewis Tony Desk Lamp
John Lewis
John Lewis’s compact anglepoise-style lamp is simple but classic. It has a painted finish that comes in various muted colours – this one is “lichen” – and has a five-year guarantee.
3. Aspinal of London Refillable Journal
Aspinal of London
Hand-crafted in England from Italian leather and available in various colours, Aspinal’s refillable notepads can be monogrammed at no extra cost.
4. Petrified log stool
Andrew Martin
These stools are made from hand-polished petrified wood, and each one is unique. They can be used as an extra place to sit, or as a side table.
5. Laptop brush
Oxford Brush Company
Pocket-sized and foldable, this laptop brush can sweep away the dust and crumbs that gather in the crevices. One side has soft goat’s hair; the other, stiff boar bristle.
£14.95; oxfordbrushcompany.com
