Jottables, The Brooklyn Brothers
Having spent over a decade in the corporate world, certain items will always carry with them particular (and sometimes, peculiar) associations. Little round paper stickers will always be ‘power dots,’ used to select favorite ideas in brainstorming sessions. And dry-erase boards will always remind me of my office. One friend covered hers in flowers and doodles, another stored his favorite phone numbers, still a third used it to structure her arguments.
That’s why I love this combination desk and dry-erase board by the folks at the Brooklyn Brothers, a great shop that does advertising and brand work while also inventing stuff like this. As opposed to a chalkboard desk, which is definitely ‘kid-like,’ dry-erase boards can’t help but make the young ones feel like grown-ups. And sometimes, vice-versa.
