Office Upgrade

Black By Design unveils its luxury collection of office essentials

Whether you're looking to upgrade your study or embrace the new school year, luxury homeware brand Black By Design has all the office essentials you could ever need. And more.


From statement desks and striking swivel chairs to paperweights and pencil holders, Black By Design’s home office collection is a gorgeous fusion of practicality and personality.


Curated by Black By Design Co-Founder Lynette Pym, it is ideal for those looking to inject some fresh energy into tired workspaces.


Lynette said: “With so many workers embracing hybrid and home working, I think it’s really important to have a space that is inspiring and invigorating.


“Whether you can dedicate a whole room to your office or just a corner of the home, a few well thought out pieces can transform the working day.”


Lynette’s absolute essentials for any home working space include a decent table lamp and some greenery.


She said: “I picked the Manta Ray Table Lamp for its classic aesthetic that will bring a Mad Man-esque feel to workspaces. I also feel it’s important to add some element of greenery as close to your desk as possible. Greenery, whether real or faux, can bring a massive boost to productivity and mood. The Self-Watering Canopy Planters from LSA International not only look gorgeous but require minimal care.”


For those with dedicated home offices the Audacious Desk is a striking piece of design that exudes Scandi charm. Great looks aside, it also comes with a dedicated hook for headphones and sliding doors for storage.


But perhaps Lynette’s favourite pieces are the more fun accessories, including the distinctive Alessi Chip Magnetic Paper Clip Holder and Kay Bojesen’s Painted Wooden Hippo which doubles as a pencil holder and to write messages on.


Lynette added: “Who says workspaces have to be boring!”


Black By Design’s luxury office essentials are available now, with prices starting at £50.
