While you may call it organised chaos, others may just call it a shabby mess. Get your spare batteries, wandering pens and other random belongings into a neat little huddle with this clever timber desk caddy from Peg and Awl. The husband-and-wife team of Margaux and Walter Kent from Philadelphia in the US hunt around for neglected, broken and abandoned treasures, and give the materials a new life by knocking them into handy homewares.

Their multi-purpose four-, seven- and 11-hole desk caddies have been crafted from reclaimed wood formerly used as floor joists in houses built across Philadelphia in the 1800s. Each piece has been hand-rubbed with natural tung oil, creating a water resistant, durable finish. Order your new life ally online from Resident GP or Nine Lives of Mine.
