Embracing Traditional Office Supplies in the Digital Work Era

In the era of remote working, digital calendars, and smartphone alerts, it’s tempting to think that the glory days of physical office supplies are in the rearview mirror. However, no matter how many hours I log on my laptop or smartphone, there will always be a part of me that cherishes the sensation of opening a fresh notebook, engaging a brand-new pen, or inscribing my name on the inaugural page of a tangible planner. There is a certain charm in these quintessential desktop itemsโ€”from delightful pens and pencils to notebooks to an aesthetically pleasing staplerโ€”that never ceases to be enchanting. And let’s not forget: as our lives increasingly revolve around our digital displays, there is an exciting array of tech-related desk essentials that only add to the allure of starting each workday. Here, we delve into the desk essentials that our team deems indispensable for navigating the work week.

Whether you’re on the hunt for the best planner recommendation on the market or you need a top-notch laptop stand to see you through the final quarter, we’ve got your needs catered for. Continue reading for the desk essentials our team members simply can’t do without.

In this digital age, it can be easy to overlook the importance of physical office supplies. However, these tangible items offer a sense of comfort and familiarity that digital tools often lack. For many, the act of jotting down notes in a notebook or clicking a pen provides a tangible connection to their work, making tasks feel more manageable and less daunting.

One such item that has gained popularity in recent years is the electric height adjustable standing desk. This innovative piece of furniture offers numerous health benefits, including improved posture and reduced risk of obesity and heart disease. Knowing how to choose the best standing desk can significantly enhance your work-from-home experience.

In addition to standing desks, other physical office supplies like pens, notebooks, and staplers continue to hold a special place in our hearts and desks. There’s something inherently satisfying about flipping through the pages of a physical planner or hearing the click of a stapler. These items not only serve practical purposes but also add a touch of personal style to your workspace.

Moreover, the advent of technology has not diminished the appeal of these items but rather enhanced it. For instance, a TV lift can transform your office space into a multifunctional area, allowing for both work and relaxation. Similarly, the best sit-stand desk can seamlessly blend technology with ergonomics, offering a comfortable and productive work environment.

Physical office supplies also offer an opportunity for personal expression. From colourful sticky notes to sleek metallic staplers, these items allow you to infuse your workspace with your unique personality. This can make your office feel more inviting and inspiring, boosting your creativity and productivity in the process.

In conclusion, while we live in an increasingly digital world, there’s still plenty of room for appreciation for physical office supplies. These items offer a tangible connection to our work, adding a touch of personal style and comfort to our workspaces. Whether it’s an electric stand-up desk or a chic notebook, these essentials continue to play a crucial role in our productivity and well-being at work. So, here’s to celebrating the enduring appeal of physical office supplies in the digital age!

Guy (the owner) delivered the desk and set it up quickly. He then gave me a lesson on how to use it and how to get the most out of it. Arrived on time and was absolutely lovely to deal with throughout the whole process. Highly recommend.

I bought an adjustable desk from Guy a couple of years ago, got great service and good price. Recently we had a tiny issue which could not be fixed over the phone. Guy was more than happy to come out and look at it 2 days later. All fixed! I really appreciated his patience with me and accommodating us so quickly. Great old fashioned service and piece of mind. I love it. I know where to get my second desk when needed. Thank you Guy. Jo Manning

Great service and really quick shipping. It is great to know that you are getting quality parts from a Scandinavian manufacturer with your standing desk purchase rather than the cheap knock off stuff you get from other major brands. Reasonably priced for the quality too!

Guy was very accommodating with meeting him at a time that suited me. He assembled the desk prior to me collecting so I only had to carry it inside with help (it's pretty heavy). The desk is great, the storage racks underneath with the 6 x built in powerpoints was worth the extra money. I have a functioning & tidy workplace.
Guy was brilliant, I highly recommend.

Have now purchased 2 stand up office desks off Guy, benchmark sales service from him, all via email, so easy; from quote to plug in, only matched by the strong quality of these machines, solid and stable. If only everything in life was this easy and reliable.

I purchased an EDesk this month from Ergomotion, and it was a remarkably smooth transaction. Guy was eager to answer all my questions before my purchase. As a first-time buyer of a standing desk, I truly appreciated how he addressed my queries with thorough details and provided options within my budget.

The delivery process was also smooth, despite a slight delay in the ETA. Guy ensured I received all necessary updates from the courier/removalist.

I've been using the desk for a couple of weeks now and I'm satisfied with it. It's sturdy on all height adjustments and the motor works as expected. I also like oak finish because it's clean-looking and suits my room setup.

Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and I'll definitely recommend Ergomotion to someone looking for their desk needs.

I've had an ergomotion desk for 10 years. It's still as good today as it was brand new. Over the years Guy has always responded promptly to any guidance I've needed (mostly help putting the desk back together after removalists take it apart).
