In my latest series, I’m taking you on a tour of my desk buddies, who watch over me as I work. This week, it’s the turn of Henry Hoover. These quirky vacuums came out in 1979, released by Numatic home appliances. They soon became one of our best-loved domestic appliances and are now seen as something of a design classic. A friend of my partner’s mother knitted one for her and I told her how cute I thought it was. She had one specially made for me for my birthday. So Henry is on one of my desk shelves, keeping my chargers in check.
Alex Gust sent in a photo of his amazing desk buddies. I’d love to add these to my collection!
If you have any special writing buddies, and would like them featured here, send a photo and a few words to estherchilton@gmail.com.
