A container assembly suitable for standing on a desk top or other flat surface to store office and other articles of daily use is built in a modular manner from individual structural elements arranged axially in series side by side. Each structural element consists of a prismatic body which has at least three longitudinal external walls and has a base, bounded by two longitudinal edges and two lateral edges, by means of which it stands on the desk top. The longitudinal edges of the base and the longitudinal edges of the external walls run parallel to the central axis of the prismatic body. At least one of the longitudinal external walls of this body forms a front face which is inclined in a lectern-like manner in relation to the base, and the prismatic body has on both sides a side wall which in each case runs perpendicular to its central axis. The prismatic bodies preferably have a hollow form and have an open front face into which are fitted, in a permanent or removable manner, a variety of inserts having holders or cavities for holding the articles concerned. |
