We remember seeing these tubular storage cabinets when we were a kid in the late-70's and they were popular the first time around. Now DWR has brought back the Componibili storage cabinets. Available in red, white or silver, they also come in the choice of 2 or 3 compartments and 12.5" of 16.5" diameter.
Looking for an industrial look for your home office, yet still want a splash of color? PB Teen (shh... we won't tell) has a whole series of locker-inspired furniture, including their Locker Corner Desk. The desk includes a hardwood work surface with a metal frame. Choose from nine different drawer colors -- you can even mix-and-match any color combo.
Put your bookends to work! These polished aluminum Hold-it Bookends from Chiasso can hold pens & pencils, be used as vases or hold anything else you care to keep close at hand. Weighted to securely hold your volumes upright.
The I-Con Desk is a retro curved desk of white Corian and black stained walnut drawers with chrome legs that would look right at home among your sleekest mid-century pieces. Available through the Conran Shop, it's not cheap -- the desk alone is $6400 and the matching drawer unit pushes the total to just shy of ten grand. Additional sizes and configurations are available on a custom basis.
Dania's Bradley Bookcase has four rows of four square shelves with drawers floating in the middle to provide some closed storage. We've seen similar shelves -- sans drawers -- used as room dividers. We wonder whether the back is finished in a way to allow for that with this piece? If so, this would create a nice way to separate the work area from the entertaining area.
