Nothing deflates our morning mood like the view of our disaster zone of a desk. Though things have gotten decidedly cheerier lately, as we have found a way to bring some order and happiness to our work place, with these charming leather animal desk organizers-cum-conversation pieces from Vacavaliente.

Handmade from recycled cowhide in Buenos Aires—the name means “the valiant cow” in Spanish—they’re designed to hold phones, pens, business cards, paper clips, candy and everything else that collects on the tops of desks. They also act as low maintenance office buddies, always there for you and asking absolutely nothing in return.

“Our idea is that you have a partner throughout your whole day,” the Vacavaliente design team told us. “This partner can make you feel a little bit happier and inspire you to move forward, always carrying a smile in your face.” When was the last time your stapler did that for you? (For extra amusement points, you can also move the horse’s head and tail to change its disposition.)

We’re offering these friendly, hard working horses in red. We also offer Kangaroo desk accessories here. The horse is a traditional symbol of good luck in South America, while the kangaroo is renowned for its tender filial bond, so you can choose what kind of relationship you want to foster.
