(97 items found)Black leather desk pads and other styles protect writing surfaces
Desk pads are among hundreds of office furnishings that include not only desks and chairs but also protective chair and floor mats. The purpose of desk pads is also to offer protection. While providing a flat, smooth writing surface, they’re essential for preventing damage to desktop surfaces, whether from ink stains, writing imprints, or scratches. Although black leather desk pads are the most elegant of these functional pads, other proprietary options include Rhinolin leatherette, a self-repairing material in which lines from writing pressure fade away, maintaining surface smoothness. In addition, many pad surfaces are antireflective, eliminating glare, and some have an antimicrobial, anti-odor coating that lasts for years. Most desk pads in black have nonskid bottoms, so they won’t slide around as users write.
Black office desk pads with stylish accents
Desk writing pads are the centerpiece of desk accessories that include file organizers, staplers, and pen holders. Some more elegant black pads come with either top or side rail padded bumpers, finished in top-grain leatherette, to provide decorative borders around the pads. Some offer side rails trimmed out in walnut or rosewood, with padded leatherette inlays. Rails have fine stitching; many with through stitching for added durability. Some models offer printed imperial and metric rulers and angle protractors on the pads.
Black desk pads are useful organizers
Pads come in many sizes, from 17 x 24 to 24 x 38 inches. Side rail pads can serve as monthly desk pads when fitted with oversized appointment calendars available as part of several desk calendars for the office. Top and side rails also offer a narrow space for holding and keeping business cards, appointment reminders, or to-do lists in sight. Some desk pads also come with a lateral pen well along the top rail, so a writing implement is always handy. Others offer attached vinyl overlays that lift up from the surface of the pads for storing paper material underneath. Use solid lift-ups to hide important work papers when away from the desk and use clear lift-ups to keep memos or prized photos visible.
