1. Why Run a Desk Organiser Test?

In 2025, hybrid work isn’t a trend—it’s the norm. And for those switching between home and office (or desk sharing), having the right desk organiser can mean the difference between clarity and chaos.

Whether you call it a desk organiser, desktop caddy, or Büro Organizer, one thing’s certain: a tidy workspace improves your focus. We tested three premium organisers from Gustav — and two budget alternatives — to find out which one works best in 2025.

2. The Organisers at a Glance

We tested:

- Gustav Original (desk caddy + laptop stand)

- Loop (open-top desk caddy)

- Gustav Dot (compact, creative organiser)

3. Evaluation Criteria

Organisation (can it hold essentials neatly?)
- Portability (can it be moved or stowed easily?)
- Ergonomics (does it help you work better?)
- Aesthetics (does it fit into a stylish workspace?)
- Sustainability (materials, longevity, design)
