A Bolder Key Holder

Cubby

The mountains and valleys that characterize Bay Area designer Josh Jakus’ Eggflat Mini (made of industrial wool felt, an eco-friendly material fabricated from factory excess wool and mixed fibers) become the perfect places for all your personal items.

Lunchbox Birdfeeder by Perch!

Although its intended design is to hold birdfood, the sleek design and playful colors of the Lunchbox Birdfeed, along with its large opening, also make it a nice spot to tuck your belongings when you get home.

Magnetter by Thea Yuzyk for Umbra

For keychain collectors, the magnetic key panel and letter holder is a nice solution—as long as your momentos aren’t too heavy—and the top lip is large enough to cradle your phone or wallet.
