Work Week: Heavy Metal

October 25th, 2007

From Sarah:

Storage bins, shelves, desks, filing systems—they all feature heavily in our overscheduled lives. To round up Work Week, here is a selection of items to create the necessary domestic infrastructure.

Sonrisa Furniture in LA offers vintage stripped natural steel office furniture:

Especially appealing are the stripped file cabinets in two-, three, four-, and five-drawer sizes, ranging in price from $625 to $850; and the stripped lawyer’s bookcases.

LA-based Twenty Gauge also offers a huge selection of restored American office furniture, from vintage lockers to architects desks; go to twentyguage.com

The perfect accoutrements: Locker basket letter tray ($60) and magazine file ($28); both at seejanework.com):

Or these perforated storage bins; $29.99 for two at pbteen.com:

The storage baskets are designed to fit into PB Teen’s shelving units; both the two-shelf and three-shelf model are $299 at pbteen.com:

Pottery Barn Teen offers an attractive locker storage option as well; the 8-drawer dresser frame with wood top is $507; each drawer is $49 (you can mix and match colors); go to pbteen.com

And, of course, Ikea is always a great source for office organization; we love the compact Helmer drawer unit in silver, white, or red, is a $39.99 at ikea.com:
