Compact, stylish and functional€”just how we like ’em.

Stacey’s Pick: Penelope mini desk

The marble top and teak finish of this mini-desk are both on trend and timeless, but it’s the compact shape (which still manages to fit a deep drawer) that makes this one a perfect fit for the modern condo. $420, available at West Elm, westelm.ca
