September means new notebooks, a desk to reorganize, and, for many, the desire to make their study space a little more personal before starting school or university. A resin figurine is one of the simplest ways to do this: it takes up little space, does not break like other desk objects, and immediately adds character to your study corner.
A symbol of wisdom for students
If you are looking for something that conveys dedication and concentration, the Golden Winged Athena Statue — goddess of wisdom in Greek mythology — is a classic chosen by high school and university students, especially those studying humanities or law. It remains an elegant piece even after graduation.
Desk humor for long study sessions
For those who prefer a lighter tone during intense study sessions, the Witty Aliens series is designed specifically for desks: compact in size, with pop-culture subjects that bring a smile even during an endless exam session. The "Rude Bear" Bear has the same spirit, perfect for those who do not want to take themselves too seriously, even at school.
For the dark academia aesthetic
Back to school is also when the dark academia aesthetic — books, academic atmospheres, and a touch of Gothic style — comes back into fashion among high school and university students. Our Gothic & Dark Fantasy collection, explored in greater detail in the guide How to Decorate Your Home in Dark Academia and Gothic Style, includes several compact pieces perfect for a bookcase or a shelf above the desk.
A four-legged study companion
For those leaving home to study away, a figurine from the «Well-Mannered... but Not Too Much» series — from Chihuahuas to Corgis — is a fun way to bring their dog "virtually" into their student accommodation room, without the usual photo frame.
How to choose the right size for your desk
To avoid cluttering a study space that is usually already full of books and notebooks, the recommended size is still 10 cm: noticeable but not intrusive. If the space is a shelf above the desk rather than the desktop itself, you can choose 15–20 cm pieces with greater visual impact.
Materials and shipping
All pieces are made of durable resin and hand-finished in Italy, with free shipping to Italy and France — also convenient for those moving away to study and wanting the package delivered directly to their new room. For more desk décor ideas, you can also consult the guide Original Desk Figurines.
