Size matters
Chairs. We all use 'em but how often do we genuinely appreciate them in all their butt-hugging glory? Not that often, which is a shame because many chairs are design classics, nay icons. And it is this very fact that has prompted us to bring you Desktop Designer Chairs.
These highly collectable 1/12 scale chairs are inspired by some of the greatest chairs ever created. Do not adjust your computer. We're talking about little chairs that you collect. Yes, we know it sounds a bit odd but once you start collecting and trading you'll become totally obsessed.
Desktop Designer Chairs: Volume 1
Blind boxed so you never know which chair you'll be getting, there are various volumes to collect. We're currently stocking volumes 1 and 4, and there are some real humdingers in there. For instance, Volume 1 features a miniaturized Barcelona, the iconic chair designed by Bauhaus architect Mies van der Rohe. And if you order a chair from Volume 4 you could be lucky enough to get a Corbusier Chaise Longue or the surreal Lips Sofa by Dali.
Desktop Designer Chairs: Volume 1
Put a Desktop Designer Chair on your desk or mantelpiece and we guarantee you'll be unable to resist 'walking' over to it with your fingers and criss-crossing them, Sharon Stone-style. And once you've collected a few you can pretend you own a designer furniture store in Lilliput. If you want.
Desktop Designer Chairs: Volume 4
Even if you're not particularly into chairs (which is everyone exceept design students and upholsterers) we think Desktop Designer Chairs are strangely irresistible and utterly fascinating. And let's face it, surrounding yourself with designer furniture is never a bad thing, even when it's only small. And if you do happen to be 1/12 scale yourself, you're laughing.
Desktop Designer Chairs: Volume 4
We never thought we'd say this about a collection of little chairs, but we feel a craze a-coming. In fact the whole thing is so exciting we need to sit down.

The detail in these are just amazing! They're unbelivably cool too and great for spicing up your desk. If you can't afford the few grand that a Ball chair would set you back then plump for one of these, you'll be just as impressed!

They won't obliterate castle walls or settle sieges, but our desktop Trebuchets and Ballistas are more than capable of causing mayhem in the office. What's more, assembling your ultra realistic wooden thingy flinger is almost as satisfying as watching it sling its payload at the boss.

 | Cassette Tape Dispenser
Audio tape sucked but cassettes remain icons of retro design. So hats off to the creators of these C90 style dispensers because each hard rubber 'cassette' reels off transparent tape as opposed to a hissy top 40 countdown from 1987. Ideal for music loving office workers.
