Is there a name for this layout?
The name for this type of layout is called knolling.
This term originated in 1987 though I believe the popularity of this sort of style blew up due to the Things Organized Neatly blog.

I didn't actually know the name until just a minute ago when I decided to do some in-depth research. So I learned something new as well! – Hanna Aug 6 '15 at 21:26

"The first person to knoll was Andrew Kromelow, a janitor at Frank Gehry's furniture store. At the time, Gehry was designing for a popular furniture brand called Knoll… …Kromelow would go through the store and find any tools that had been left out. He would then rearrange the tools on a flat surface so they were at right angles to one another. He called this knolling, because it reminded him of the angles in Florence Knoll's furniture pieces." — via Creative Market – George C Aug 26 '18 at 18:51
