desk organiser

Pen holder system

A desk organiser is a container or system of compartments for holding pens, paper clips, scissors, and other office supplies.

The term covers everything from simple cups to elaborate multi-tiered trays.

The goal is keeping a workspace tidy and items within reach: I finally bought a desk organiser so I'd stop losing my stapler.
