The foundation of the Cache series, part of Paul McCobb’s extensive Planner series, is a beautifully simplistic and easy table with slim and straight steel legs, stripped from any details or ornament, leaving only small drawers that can be mounted individually or grouped on either side of the table for small keepings. If more storage and distinctiveness is needed, add the second piece in the series, the two- drawer organizer that resides on a slender leg construction as the table itself and has the same playful two-finger opening system as the drawers in the desk. The Desk Organiser can be placed on the desk or used as a stand-alone item next to sofas or beds.
