Have a dual-purpose workspace? Hide your office away in the Mayfair Steamer Secretary Trunk ($3,000). Built by antiques dealer/craftsman Timothy Oulton of London, this oversized steamer trunk hides away a pull-down desktop, tons of drawers, each with room for a label — lest you forget where you put those paper clips — leather-edged canvas lining, an exterior of distressed, aniline-dyed cigar leather, and wheels on the bottom for easy opening, closing, and mobility. We suppose you could also hide an actual secretary inside, but she’d better be really flexible.
