A New Partners' Desk organizer

A new project: a double-sided partners' desk organizer made to our client's specifications and jacketed in a stunning hand-marbled paper by Il Papiro. 

At Parvum Opus, we have the pleasure of collaborating with our clientele on beautiful bespoke projects every day, and often, our tight schedule prevents us from taking the time to photograph and share them. So today it's my pleasure to share a recently completed project: a double-sided desk organizer designed specifically for our client's Edwardian partners' desk. It features slots for stationery, pens and pencils on both sides, and measures just over 15" long. For this piece, we selected one of the world's finest handmade papers from Il Papiro, the venerable Italian papermaker. 


This paper, called a 'peacock marble' is made one sheet at a time using a centuries-old process, with every inch beautifully varied. To give you some idea of how this paper is created, here's a short video snip from Il Papiro in Firenze (via YouTube): 


We hold craftsmanship and design in the highest regard here at the bindery, and it's a distinct pleasure to work with materials made in the same spirit. As with all of our bespoke projects, we were delighted to design and fabricate this piece and hope that our clients find it beautiful and useful for many years to come.

  1. What a beautiful desk organiser. I love the fact that it is handmade, beautiful AND supremely practical. I'm certain it would lift the table-scape of any desk, but especially an Edwardian partners' desk.
    'A lovely object and an interesting post… thank you!

  2. Dear Kirk,
    Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to make this piece-- a partners' desk is such a lovely thing. With the new appreciation for collaborative, creative work in all sorts of businesses, I wonder if they'll make a comeback...! I certainly hope so.
    Warm regards,
    Erika
