First things first, here’s a nice picture of the novelist / artist Douglas Coupland looking intense at his escritoire.

Judging by those globes (and these dartboards) he definitely seems to have a thing about stacking objects for decorative effect.

The desk is part of a furniture collection that Douglas designed with SwitzerCultCreative, and which is being launched this weekend at an Interiors show in Toronto. It also includes this shelving unit.

A sort of update of the lovely old Victorian units that you can often see in highly fashionable people’s houses (or find at Retrouvius).
