DeskLodger of the Month - February 2026

Meet our February DeskLodger of the Month: Boris Drappier, founder of Rent Happily 🧡

With 15 years in the rental sector, Boris knows how quickly things can change - and why staying competitive means staying creative.

He’s also looking ahead to the next chapter, with plans to move into more consulting and advisory work.

DeskLodge plays a big part in his hybrid routine too, giving him a breath of fresh air, a change of scenery, and the chance to meet people outside his usual world.
