Time to redecorate the office: Haute design depot Metropolis Modern has launched a new line of "executive toys" that won't make you look like an emotionally retarded teenager with his first credit card and a Sharper Image catalog (while they last, by the way.) The collection kicks off with
a selection of vintage teak animals and toys by Danish designer Kay Bojesen, an early model of the stainless-steel revolving ashtray designed by Danish star Arne Jacobsen in 1967, and a selection of antique Machine Age drop-forged iron tools mounted on custom metal stands. That last one's manly wrenches will make you feel like you're doing real work—even if you're really just punching up spreadsheets at your desk.
