During the last edition of Maison & Objet, Eindhoven-based designer Doreen Westphal has presented a new collection of objects for the home and office in concrete, bamboo and oak. Designed for MenschMade, the collection is titled Hoffice (short for home office), and is composed of six items.

"Concrete no longer holds any secrets for me," states Westphal. "I find it an immensely strong and pleasant material to work with, and the possibilities are virtually endless." Her motivation for the objects in the Hoffice collection comes from a realisation that more and more individuals are working from home, while offices are slowly becoming more domestic spaces. "My Hoffice collection combines the coolness of concrete with the warmth of bamboo and oak," remarks Westphal.

The Hoffice line comprises the Kiosk magazine rack, the Paper Plate memo holder, the Pick Up paper spike, the Post Office organiser for telephone, iPad and business cards, the Tape Mate tape dispenser, and Wall Clock.
