MAIN PURPOSE: Show whether you can be interrupted

A square pen cup with one word on each face: FOCUS, CALL, BREAK and OPEN. Turn it so the right word faces the room and colleagues or family can see at a glance whether to interrupt, with no light, app or door sign. The pens stay exactly where they always were.

Shelf Alibi

MAIN PURPOSE: Hide a charging hub among the books

A hollow book for the bookshelf: put a USB charging hub or power bank inside, feed the mains lead out through the back and the charging cables up through the slot in the top. Phones and earbuds charge on the shelf with every cable hidden, and from the room it is just another spine.

Cordflag

MAIN PURPOSE: Label cables right behind the plug

Snap the small ring onto a cable just behind the plug and the flag says what it powers: LAPTOP, ROUTER, LAMP. Under a desk or behind the TV you unplug the right lead first time. The 5 mm ring takes most USB and mains flex and rotates so the flag always faces you.

Lean-To

MAIN PURPOSE: Stand a tablet behind a row of books

A bookend with a second job: the books stand on the base plate against the upright, and behind it a trough holds a tablet or e-reader leaning on the upright’s back face. The weight of the books keeps the tablet stand steady, so a recipe, a video call or sheet music stands up at the end of the row.

Station Fence

MAIN PURPOSE: Pierce sewing stations for bookbinding

Lay the strip in the fold of an open signature with the back lip hooked over the head of the pages, then push an awl through the seven guide holes. Every signature in the book gets its sewing stations in exactly the same place, so the spine comes out straight. Stations are 40 mm apart.

Deckle Rule

MAIN PURPOSE: Tear paper with a handmade deckle edge

Hold the rule down on a sheet and tear the paper up against its rippled edge: you get the soft, irregular deckle of handmade paper on invitations, place cards, menus and journal pages, with no deckle box and no wet tearing. The other edge is a plain straight edge for normal tears.

Dayface

MAIN PURPOSE: Plan the day hour by hour with tokens

A clock face you plan with: each of the twelve wedges is one hour of the working day, and you drop a paper clip, coloured token or folded note into the hours you have promised to something. One look shows how full the day is, and emptying a wedge feels better than ticking a list. Waiting tokens sit in the hub.

Puck Easel

MAIN PURPOSE: Turn a flat wireless charger into a stand

Drop a round wireless charging pad into the slot at the back and its face lines up with the 56 mm window: lean your phone against the front and it charges standing up, where you can still read the screen, instead of lying flat. The cable leaves through the back and the front lip stops the phone sliding.

Glue Bridge

MAIN PURPOSE: Keep PVA glue and wipe the brush

A PVA pot for bookbinding and paper crafts: the bar across the top is for wiping excess glue off the brush, so it goes on thin and even, and the snug lid keeps the glue workable between sessions. Fill to just below the bar.

Swatch Row

MAIN PURPOSE: Display ink samples with their swatches

Stand seven ink sample vials in the row of holes and slip a written swatch card into the tall slot behind each one: the actual colour on paper sits next to its bottle, so choosing tomorrow’s ink no longer means opening every vial. The holes take 2 ml and 5 ml vials.
