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
6. Curie Swivel Chair Vintage Brown Leather
Gallery Direct
Most offices have pretty ugly chairs; at home, you could have this vintage-style leather one from the British firm Gallery Direct.

Kartell
This classic storage unit, designed by Anna Castelli Ferrieri in 1968, comes in a range of heights, configurations and colours.

Designed by the Danish designer Folmer Christensen, and manufactured by Folle since 1946, this sturdy stapler comes in blue or red.
