Status-cube pen pot

Turn a pen pot on its turntable to tell colleagues if you are free

Headphones on does not always mean do not disturb. This pen pot turns on its own turntable base, and each side says something different: FOCUS in red, OPEN in green, BREAK in gold and CALL in blue. Give it a spin so the right word faces the office, and colleagues know whether to come over or send a message instead. It holds your pens either way.
