Study the Thirties way
Inkwell sets
The Victorians were great fans of desk-top inkwell sets, and they continued to be popular in the Thirties. They were made in a variety of materials, look out for chrome, glass or Bakelite items. As relatively few of these items survive unbroken, they can be a bit more expensive to buy, but it’s still possible to get one for under £50.
The radio
If you need a bit of music in your workspace, find an original or repro Thirties wireless radio. Even the original speaker surrounds to these radios can be found in sales or online, and contemporary speakers can be wired to them. This way you can have the best of today’s technology housed in the best of Thirties design. Again, oak was a popular choice for both radios and speakers.
The desk lamp
To complete your Thirties study look for a desk lamp. The Bauhaus style is simple and timeless, although these lamps, because of their timelessness and good design, can cost you up to £200 to buy today. The lamp should be made of chrome or glass, with a simple shape.
Because the Thirties style was so simple, it lends itself to modern day décor without looking old-fashioned. So get yourself some vintage office accessories and enjoy your workspace in a different way!
