Seeking advice

Post image

Hi,

this is my current setup at home. I actually replaced the desk shelf with the Ugmonk Gather about two years ago, but overall it’s still a combination of Oakywood + Gather.

I’m now looking to build a second setup for my new office, with a similar style but in a black-and-white combination. Unfortunately, I just realized that Ugmonk has discontinued the Gather series, and I really liked both their desk shelf and laptop stand.

The obvious alternative would be to go full Oakywood in black and white, which I’m perfectly fine with since I already know their quality and really like their products.

That said, I’d also like to explore some new options. I’ve been out of the desk setup rabbit hole for a few years, so I’m curious what the current top brands are in terms of quality and minimalist design, preferably ones that are easily available in the EU.

I already know about Balolo, but their designs aren’t really my thing.

Any recommendations would be highly appreciated.

Many thanks!

I don’t see what’s so hilarious about it:

Brave Software was founded in 2015 by Brendan Eich, creator of JavaScript and former Mozilla CEO who left the organization after coming under fire for his support of eliminating the right of same-sex couples to marry

In August 2016, the company had received at least US$7 million in angel investments from venture capital firms, including Peter Thiel's Founders Fund
