Deskox Alm Anodised Aluminium Pen Cup

THE DESK PIECE THAT MATCHES YOUR LAPTOP INSTEAD OF FIGHTING IT

If your desk is aluminium laptop, aluminium keyboard and a metal monitor arm, a wooden pen pot is the one thing that does not belong. Alm is machined and anodised to the same family of finishes, so it reads as part of the setup. The weight is in the base rather than the walls, which means it takes a full load of pens without becoming top-heavy. For a hardware-led desk it is the only pen holder that looks like it was chosen rather than inherited.

WHY IT EARNS ITS SPACE ON YOUR DESK

• Matches anodised laptop and keyboard finishes — so the one non-metal object on a hardware desk finally disappears.
• Loads the weight into the base — which keeps a full cup of pens from going top-heavy and tipping.
• Resists marking through the anodised layer — so the surface shrugs off the scuffs a painted finish would show.
• Lines the interior to stop the rattle — because metal pens in a bare metal cup are louder than you would expect.
• Cleans with a single wipe — and never absorbs the ink marks a porous material holds onto.
