by Shane Henson — December 20, 2013—Facilities and office managers tired of ordering the same black or clear office supplies can give employees desk accessories that are as useful as they are stylish through purchasing from Modeska.
Modeska is a new startup company founded by Jeremy Biron, the mind behind HonestOffice.com. Modeska offers a suite of high-quality aluminum office accessories that are designed to reduce desktop distractions and clutter, allowing users to focus on creativity and innovation.
The Modeska line includes six products: a business card holder, mini bin for knick-knacks and small items, pen holder, sticky-note dispenser, mail tray, and paper tray. With a minimalist design that is as sleek as the computer that it shares a desk with, the Modeska line is well-designed and appealing to the eye, claims Biron.
Biron says he created the accessory line in response to the lack of well-designed office accessories on the market today, noting that when he recently redesigned his office, he was surprised that he could not find a desk set that complemented his new, modern office.
“I looked through catalogs and online, but all I found were boring black or clear organizers. I wanted something that was simple, clean, and complemented my computer,” he says. “There are all these well-designed tech products, but I couldn’t find a good desk organizer, and that’s what gave me the inspiration for Modeska.”
The entire line of Modeska products is manufactured in Connecticut. After discovering that most desk accessories are made overseas, Biron knew he wanted Modeska to be made in the United States so his team could monitor production, quality control, and on-time fulfillment, he says.
Modeska seeks to raise $15,000 on Kickstarter to facilitate tooling costs, material costs, and the first round of production. Backers who pledge to the crowdfunding campaign can receive an item from the Modeska collection for pledges as little as $30. Also available are rewards that include different product sets, as well as the entire six-piece Modeska collection.
