For Clients & Colleagues — No. 02

Some ideas don't start in meetings. They begin quietly — on a small card, beside a notebook, at a desk that feels like it was designed for thinking. This box was composed for that moment: the one before the work begins, when everything is still possible. Objects chosen to bring calm order to a workspace, and to make the act of thinking feel as considered as the thoughts themselves.

Uniqka — Plato Leather Tray Designed by Defne Koz — whose work moves between Milan and Chicago and has been recognised with the Big See Design Award, and Design Intelligence Award. Vegetable-tanned leather, refined aluminium details, handcrafted. A surface that develops patina over time, becoming more personal with every use. Where essential objects naturally find their place — without being asked to.

My Roadmap — Leather Planner Binder More than a notebook. A personal workspace for reflection, planning, and the kind of thinking that happens before the meeting begins. Chocolate-brown leather, A5 format, 2026 planner pages with space for notes, ideas, and daily planning. A binder system that allows pages to be reorganised or replaced — a flexible tool that evolves alongside the person using it. 

Alessi — Chip Magnetic Paper Clip Holder Designed by Rodrigo Torres for the Italian design house Alessi. Chrome-plated metal, internal magnet, bird-shaped sculptural form. It collects paper clips, keeps them accessible, and brings a quiet moment of character to any desk. The object that makes people stop and ask about it — which is, of course, the point.

Kraft Note Cards For the sketch that precedes the presentation. For the first version of the idea — which is always the most important one. Three tones: kraft, black, white. Compact format, smooth writing surface, sturdy cardboard. For the thought that arrives before the document is open.
