This minimal wooden tray has a ‘clip’ up its sleeve!

Posted on by

I don’t know about you, but I love cute little stationery designs! They have the magical power to liven up our boring old work-desks, just looking at them at regular intervals can perk you up! Japan-based YOY Design Studio specializes in adding a pop of quirkiness and creativity to everyday items, and one such example is their Protrude Desk Tray.

Protrude is a wooden minimal desk tray that, to be honest, looks like it’s gonna slip right off your desk at any moment, taking your beloved coffee and work items with it! However, Protrude has a trick up its sleeve, or more specifically a clip up its sleeve! The underside of the tray has been equipped with a nifty little clip, allowing you to fasten and secure the tray onto any desk surface. Crafted from wood and stainless steel, the tray is about the same size as an A4 sheet of paper and can be adjusted and rotated at any angle.

Perfect for holding your steaming cup of coffee, stationery items and etc, you can position the tray any way you like, without it occupying excess space on your table while keeping your coffee away from important documents or electronics! YOY’s tray is like a clever little trick that could add some fun to your desk, and hold your work essentials!

Honey I printed a lamp

2015 is the year of the 3D printer. You’ll pretty much be able to print anything soon. But what about the poor little ink printer? Everybody just takes it for granted. The guys at YOY decided to give our little forgotten friend some street cred. Here’s the ultra simple Poster Lamp. Printed on a simple sheet of paper, just about anybody can put one together. And let’s not deny, it looks just about as classy as Champagne and Caviar!

Canvas is Half Painting, Half Chair

If you think this painting of a chair looks good enough to sit on, you’re in luck because you actually can do just that. The Canvas (designed by YOY) is made to look like a canvas painting but work like a chair. It’s made from a wood frame covered by an elastic fabric. The elastic fabric stretches out so you can sit yourself right in the painting. Bet you can’t do that with the Night Watch (trust me, I tried and am now banned from most major museums).

It’s probably ok to sit on the arms of this one. An image of an armchair is printed right on the fabric. The result is a highly portable seating option that you can easily stow away when not in use. A chair that looks like a work of art. It’s also available in sofa form:

It’s like a spare couch you can store behind your couch, or hang on your wall. You might have to explain how to use it to your guests though. Measures 59″ H x 43.3″ W for the armchair and 51.2″ H x 74.8″ W for the sofa.
