If you are as unorganized individual as me, you would probably want to hide all the clutter on your desk while you aren’t working. Look no further than the Vika Veine, an unassuming small tabletop that folds out into an excellent working space. Once opened, it literally transforms into a full-featured work desk, complete with a wide table space, felt board on the inside lid (both for absorbing ambient sound and doubling as a notice board) with pockets and paper holders, and cable outlets that run across the back. The lid uses spring hinges for gentle opening and closing. Not bad for $99 huh?

Pendant lights are one of the most popular illumination options. These modern style chandeliers give a room an instant air of sophistication, due to their versatility and contemporary aesthetic. Moooi, the avant-garde Dutch design firm, creates one of the most celebrated styles in this type of lighting, with their gorgeous Random pendant lamp. Well on its way to becoming a classic, Random is formed from resin drained yarn that has been coiled around an inflatable mold, creating a translucent globe of fabric. Gorgeous but pricey, the Random light by Moooi can set you back six or seven hundred dollars.
