Desk Blotters

Back when fountain pens and not computers were the most common writing utensil in an office, desk blotters were used to protect expensive hardwood desktops from overzealous ink pens. Today, very few people use messy fountain pens in everyday situations but for those who do, desk blotters are a must have. Even if you don't intend to take advantage of their practicality, desk blotters make handsome and prestigious decorative ornaments that will give any office an understated air of class.

More elaborate desk blotters may be made of leather embossed in crocodile or bark patterns may feature fold-out side flaps adorned with pockets to store important business cards or meeting notes. In the center of these desk blotters you will find a pad of paper for jotting notes or a handy calendar to keep track of all your appointments. Felt bottoms and undersides on desk blotters further protect desktops from scratches and scuffs.

Desk blotters modified for the digital age make handsome and functional resting places for laptops and computers. Front bumpers and non-skid bottoms hold your laptop in place on the desk blotter while and cord-wrangling loops keep the rest of your desktop neat and organized.

Personalization
A boardroom table laid out with several desk blotters each with the corporate logo debossed into the leather is the epitome of a professional setting. Desk blotters personalized with individual names or initials make terrific employee gifts.

You needn't be an avid user of fountain pens to enjoy the benefits of desk blotters in your office. Desk blotters in professional setting are a reflection of good taste.
