Eureka Ark Executive Standing Desk
The Eureka Ark Executive Standing Desk combines heavy-duty design with minimalist modern aesthetics — with the added benefit of not sitting for hours at a time. Measuring 63 x 29 inches, the Ark Executive Desk features a raising mechanism with two quiet motors and three-stage legs that raise the desk from 27 inches to a max height of 49 inches. The desk raises and lowers at the touch of a button, with two preset options and an anti-collision system to prevent mishaps. A raised monitor stand and two smooth-glide drawers provide ample storage options, with three USB ports, two outlets, and a wireless charging pad built into the top. Almost completely handmade, the Ark is dressed in solid walnut veneer, making it the centerpiece of any office, at home or on the job.

Montegrappa Anytime Perpetual Calendar Pen
Like fine timepieces, quality pens require detailed craftsmanship. That's evident in the perpetual calendar mechanism of the Anytime pen from Paolo Favaretto and Montegrappa. The pen's lid has three notched dials for the date, day, and month that provide haptic feedback when adjusted and lock into place using technology from the company's ratchet piston-fill mechanism. The pen is available in two models: Maestro, with a black resin and Delrin body with stainless steel trim, and Supremo, with a red resin body and yellow gold-plated brass trim. Both rollerball and fountain versions are available; the latter models have 18k gold nibs, and every pen regardless of model is limited to 365 numbered pieces and arrives pre-adjusted to show the date of manufacture.

The result is a brew that does much more than just provide a perk, helping focus and mood throughout the day.
