Sometimes all you need is a simple and well designed item for the home, forgot the fuss and the frou frou. 

A brand which does this perfectly is Block; a product design company with an online store focusing on office and desk items all designed for maximum practicality and style, with a colour pallete that is bright and playful. 

The minimalist website fits with the product giving a choice of four categories – Deskware, Homeware, Pegboards and Blog. The product range isn’t huge but that’s ok, and you know each item has been designed and produced in house resulting in a more refined item. Our favourites include the coat racks and pegboards.
