A desk console element includes a receptacle member for holding a desktop item such as a pen and pen base and further includes a one-piece connecting clip for releasably connecting the receptacle member to the receptacle member of a like element. The connecting clip includes a first part and a second part, and the receptacle member includes a pair of elongated tracks for slidably accepting the first clip part and detent-defining means which, with the tracks, cooperate with the first clip part to releasably interlock the clip and the receptacle member. The second clip part is adapted to be releasably interlocked with the receptacle member of the like member as the first clip part is adapted to be releasably interlocked with the receptacle member of its element. The element is well-suited for use in a desk console comprised of an assembly of like elements so that the desk console accomodates the addition of an element to, the removal of an element from, and permits a change in the order of the arrangement of desktop items in the console.
