range to include a vast array of new
solutions for customers to bring some
brightness to their workspace.”
Office Depot has also taken note of
the trend for more colour. Andrew Bond,
European Product Specialist, said: “Within
Office Depot Europe we see that people
are moving away from the traditional
black ranges and having more colour
on their desks.We recently launched a
coloured mesh range, and sales for this
have performed ahead of forecast.”
Kate Robson, Marketing Manager
at Durable UK, says demand has been
particularly strong for the company’s
award-winning VARICOLOR range of
desk accessories, which includes draw
boxes, letter trays and a desk organiser.
She points out that, as well as having an
aesthetic appeal, the use of colour has a
functional role on products such as letter
trays as it aids organisation.
Page says that, subject to order
volumes, Deflecto can manufacture
desk accessories in almost any colour to
suit client needs. He said: “We recently
produced some of our CRAFT items
in PINK to support the Breast Cancer
awareness charity. Trend colours such as
Mellow Yellow andWarm Grey have been
used recently in our desk top accessories
section to complement even the most
stylish of home offices.”
Positive work environment
While some people subscribe to the view
that a tidy desk is the sign of a tidy mind,
others might feel more creative in what,
to colleagues, looks like a disorganised
mess. A desk is a personal space and we
all have our own ways of making our
mark on them.
For this reason, desk accessories
are about more than just making a
workspace look nice. As Avery’s Mills
points out, they also enable workers to
express a degree of individual style in the
office. “If an office worker is surrounded
by things they like, whether it’s their
favourite colours or family photos, it
creates a more positive environment to
work from,” she said.
Allowing employees to personalise
their desk in small ways, even something
as minor as picking their favourite colour
for pots and trays, could make them
happier and improve productivity – a
win-win for staff and the business.
