Create the Ultimate Modern Study with These 9 Office Essentials
From industrial concrete to tactile leather, these pieces are sure to make you whistle while you work
There’s a certain nostalgia that comes with the beginning of a new school year that we all can relate to—whether or not we’re still in that educational phase ourselves. The days are getting shorter, the weather is turning cold, and it’s time to get back to work as summer officially comes to an end. As with any seasonal change, it’s an opportunity to reorganize. In addition to the usual: kitchen, pantry, and closet, the room that most immediately comes to mind is the home office. Whether it be for a dedicated study or a nook in your bedroom, the essentials remain the same.
To mark the new season, Galerie is taking a closer look at the traditional elements of a study through a modernist lens. Of course, the focal point should always be the desk, optimally one that functions as a work of art in itself, as is the case with the industrially-inspired Ténéré desk by Roche Bobois. From there, carefully consider a mix of hard and soft goods by layering in elements of leather and brass for a luxurious look. Lastly, be sure to stay organized with a handy agenda as well as a charging station for all of your cords and accessories to keep everything in its place.
The options are endless, and if you are looking to add or revamp your current occupational space, Galerie has rounded up some of the best pieces to create the ultimate modern office at home.
