Tulou round-house organiser

Sort desk things into twelve rooms round a courtyard, like a Fujian tulou

The Hakka people of Fujian built tulou: round earth fortresses where a whole village lived in a ring of identical rooms facing a shared courtyard, with a single gate. This organiser is a little tulou for the desk. Twelve wedge-shaped rooms ring the round courtyard, which takes a cup or a plant, and an arched gate opens into the front room. Give every family member, colour or project its own room.
