Office for most of us these days is either walking into the next room, or a corner of the living room, or the desk close to our bed. Working from home is the new normal, and the home office is where we spend most of our time. Reason enough to dress-up and equip them with some inspiring, beautiful and practical items. To help, we rounded up ten home office products — furniture, furnishings, accessories and lamps — to ensure you work in style.
Tama from Walter Knoll
The desk is where all the action happens, and it has to be functional and also make a statement at the same time. We recommend the Tama from Walter Knoll (available with Plusch), a desk which is elegant and creative. The desk celebrates wood and craftsmanship, and features a sensually curved desk top and bronze blade legs. Tama’s rounded edge is finished in veneer, while the lower top is painted in textured bronze. The two drawers in this sculptural desk have soft closing features, to be opened through hidden handles. The front drawer is equipped with mirrors and offers several storage areas. Optionally, an additional inner drawer can be installed. A discreet USB power port is also fitted under the shelf.

Amazonia, Mayumbe and Tanjung from Baobab
Scented candles have the ability to relax your mind, and thereby increase productivity. Available with Sources Unlimited in India, brand Baobab has a heavenly line-up of candles which not only smell good, but are equally gorgeous in appearance. The Amazonia scented candle has a hand-blown opaline glass in which turquoise, blue and brown glass confetti is inserted. Each glass is unique, as the colour is embedded into the glass in a random fashion. Recalling the vibrant colours of the forest that it represents, its fragrance of bergamot, green tea and Atlas cedar, will take you into a vegetal freshness full of mystery.
The Tanjung scented candle lies in an opaline glass hand-blown by glass craftsmen. Multiple colours are sprinkled throughout the glass, recalling the tones of the mysterious landscapes of Indonesia.

The Mayumbe scented candle is enclosed in hand-blown glass featuring colours ranging from duck blue to saffron yellow.
