Grovemade Desk Shelf 2.0

When it comes to deskspace accessories, Grovemade are a go-to for us here at The Coolector and one of their best products, in our opinion at least, was their awesome looking Desk Shelf. Well, it’s back and bigger than ever with their new version of a classic and if you’ve got a workspace that you want to get into order, this is an essential purchase. The Grovemade Desk Shelf 2.0 came about after the Oregon based brand’s observations showed that people need more storage. So they modified the integrated aluminium shelf to span the full width between the legs, more than tripling the shelf space available.

The Grovemade Desk Shelf 2.0 is great value at just $240 which is a small price to pay for getting your desk more organised, streamlined and conducive to being productive on a daily basis. The full width shelf brings the storage to the front, to help improve your workflow and as Grovemade extended the shelf, they shifted to a two-legged design. Again, this was driven by observation—removing the leg creates a full width garage to slide your desk pad, keyboard and mouse in and out. It was a pattern they saw many people using so integrated it into their newly designed shelf.

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION

Above the metal shelf on the Desk Shelf 2.0, Grovemade have added a narrow post that secures the shelf to the wood top, delivers subtle asymmetric energy, and gives you a simple compartment that’s just the right size for the brand’s desk tray to slide in and out and keep your EDC and other small essentials in check. Grovemade wanted to create a simple, flexible solution to cable management so the tray now snuggly bumps the back when it’s fully slid in. Then they tweaked the geometry to also deftly manage your cords by creating a narrow channel to guide them. It can accommodate any and all cord configurations – centred, left justified, right justified. It’s a gently organizing fix which creates a clean look from the back.

Another important change for the Grovemade Desk Shelf 2.0 (from $240) is the legs. They have increased the depth to again create more storage space on the metal shelf. This allowed them to explore the interaction between the cork and the deep chamfered edge of the shelf. The legs now cut through the face and back of the shelf, highlighting the detailed level of quality craftsmanship of this workspace essential. The original desk shelf from Grovemade was inspired by months of observation and study, seeing people in their workspaces, finding ways to improve and inspire their best work. Now, they have applied the learnings of the last four years on top of that for the ultimate in workspace organisation.

Workspace organisation is crucial to workflow and productivity and with items like the Grovemade Desk Shelf 2.0, you’ll be able to focus on getting the job done and not stressing about the chaos of a disorganised workspace. Great value at $240, it’s impressive to see the amount of improvements Grovemade have made to their accessory with a few understated and intuitive design changes. Another great addition to the American studio’s lineup of expertly crafted wares.
