When your office is also your bedroom

First up? Zinnecker customized a large ELVARLI shelving unit from IKEA that splits his room in two, clearly separating Anderson’s bed area from his workspace. In addition to offering that divide, it also allows Anderson to have storage solutions specifically matched to the size of his room—and to his somewhat odd-shaped, bulky equipment.

“The ELVARLI room divider tackles two issues Francis had, which are that he has a hard time visually separating sleep from work, and that he needs storage,” said Aslam.

Zinnecker also placed a large EKET storage combination next to his desk—this piece is also fully customized with a range of drawer sizes as well as open and closed shelves. It provides a pop of color, which is a nod to Anderson’s girlfriend who is drawn to ornate designs and bright textiles. He, on the other hand, is a minimalist. Zinnecker—who joked that her role is often one-part designer, one-part relationship counselor—said that this is where the ability to tailor-design pieces makes a crucial difference.
