The specification nobody prints
Two lamps with identical numbers on the box can feel completely different by six in the evening. The difference is flicker, and it is almost never on the box.
The rose room
Keyboards, mats, light and sound for the desk you sit at every day. The rose is decided with the material rather than applied at the end, which is why the aluminium, the steel and the wool actually match.
The counts below are the number of products actually in each category right now, not a figure anyone typed.
Trays for the small things, rolls for the cables, and a case for the desk that travels.
4 products
The two objects your hands touch for eight hours. Everything else on the desk is furniture by comparison.
4 products
Task light you can aim, bias light behind the screen, and warm bulbs for the end of the afternoon.
3 products
Near-field speakers, headphones for a shared room, and a microphone that does not need a stand.
3 products
Mats, risers and the quiet business of getting cables off the desk and out of your eyeline.
4 products
Sound
Near-field two-ways with a 4-inch woofer, meant for a metre away rather than the far wall.
Light
A 500 mm illuminated bar on a counterweighted arm. CRI 97, 2700–5000 K, no visible flicker.
Surfaces
900 × 400 mm of 5 mm wool felt, edge-bound, deep enough for a board and a mouse with room between them.
A bundle stores one number: what it costs. The list total and the saving are added up from the products inside it every time the page loads, so they cannot drift apart from the prices on the product pages.
A mat, a tray, somewhere for the cables to go and light behind the screen. The four things that change a desk before you have spent anything on the interesting parts.

Look at the setThe field behind this page is drawn on the graphics card, not painted into an image — five octaves of warped noise resolved through three colour stops, at whatever density your screen actually has.
Pick a mood and the whole shop moves to it: the field eases across over about a second, and the accent on every price and button goes with it. The choice becomes part of the address, so a link you send someone arrives in the colour you were looking at. It stops entirely for anyone whose system asks for reduced motion, and pauses whenever this tab is not the one you are looking at.
Carry and store
260 × 180 mm, deep enough for a notebook, a phone and a pair of headphones.
Carry and store
160 × 110 mm of folded steel with a felt floor. For the things that otherwise migrate.
Sound
Cardioid condenser on a weighted base, with a mute that is a physical switch.

Sixty per cent photographs beautifully and hides your arrow keys behind a layer. Five per cent more board gets them back.
Laser-cut felt looks sharper on day one. A year of a mouse crossing the same edge tells a different story.
