Homixy Heirloom Double-Sided Vegan Leather Desk Mat

A DESK THAT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN WORKED AT FOR YEARS

Heirloom has a deliberately aged, slightly uneven finish, which is why it makes a brand-new flatpack desk look like it belongs to someone with a history. It is thicker than the usual office pad, so pens don't emboss the surface underneath and a mug doesn't ring the wood. Both faces are usable, in two related tones rather than two clashing ones. It is the mat for a room full of books, not a room full of RGB.

WHY IT EARNS ITS PLACE ON YOUR DESK

• Cushions the desk against pen pressure — with a thickness that stops writing from embossing the surface beneath.
• Ages into character rather than out of it — because the tumbled finish is designed to look better once it has been used.
• Turns over to a related second tone — giving a change of mood without a jarring colour clash.
• Repels rings and spills — on a waterproof face that lets a mug sit down without a coaster.
• Sits flat within hours — thanks to a pressed core that releases the roll far faster than thin PU sheet.
