What a year. Some questions in life seem obvious, such as “What should we do?’’ or “Where should we go?”. But in 2020, the easiest tasks at hand are sometimes riddled with uncertainty and lapses of concentration. One thing for sure, as this year draws to its end, we’ve all come to realize the importance of a great home office. An uncluttered space personalized for our needs, away from the noise and heave of this new reality. A smartly furnished area that’s equally private and inviting, boosting productivity and creativity. No matter our profession or endeavours, fine-tuning our WFH experience is an art. And since we are going to be doing this for a while, let’s get set up for 2021 and take this special occasion to treat our loved ones with great office essentials. Ranging from accessories, art, lighting to fair-trade coffee, here is a list of products from local businesses guaranteed to brush up their home office decor and make their workday more enjoyable!
The desk shelf
Keep your loved ones in good shape by offering them the gift of a healthy posture. Designed, manufactured, and hand-finished in Montreal, our desk shelf is built with 100% locally-sourced premium solid wood or soft-touch laminate. Perfect to support two monitors, this ergonomic riser will help them with their posture while offering storage space for their notebooks.
Atelier Archipel
Nothing beats the charm of a carefully hand-bound notebook. Based in Montreal, Atelier Archipel creates a collection of paper objects including bespoke notebooks and greeting cards. A foolproof gift for those who love dipping into nostalgia.

With its angled platform, this stand is designed to prevent tension from building up in the neck while promoting a healthy posture. Make sure to pair it with an external mouse and keyboard to maximize its benefits.
Leather mouse pad
To complement the natural feel, add a bit of earth tone with our classic leather mouse pad. Handcrafted in Canada with premium full-grain leather, this sturdy pad provides support for their hand and wrist, and a smooth, non-slip surface for their mouse.
