Golden Angle

MAIN PURPOSE: Hold pens of eight sizes apart on a phyllotaxis spiral

A pen pot whose top is a sunflower head: eight holes spiral out at 137.5 degrees, the angle plants use to pack seeds without gaps, and they grow from 7 mm for fine liners to 16 mm for brushes. Every pen gets its own hole, so tips never clash and the mix of sizes still packs tightly. Print it as shown, then turn it over so the floor becomes the top.

Ravenala Fan

MAIN PURPOSE: Fan letters and cards apart in seven slots

A letter and card fan drawn from the traveller’s palm, whose leaves open in one flat plane. Seven petioles rise from one root and splay apart, so every letter, card or bill drops into its own V, leans at its own angle and stays readable at a glance.

Dreikanter

MAIN PURPOSE: Stand a phone or tablet at three angles by turning it

A phone and tablet stand after the dreikanter, a stone the desert wind grinds into three faces. Rest it on any face and the device stands in the groove of the next: 50 degrees for typing, 60 for video, 70 for reading. Turning the stone is the adjustment.

Broch

MAIN PURPOSE: Keep pens in the core and flat tools in the wall gap
