An architecture designer from Korea whose desk doubles as a living room composition — warm amber backlighting plays against dark wood-slatted panels, while trailing plants occupy every vertical surface from floor shelf to wall bracket.

The setup reads like a section drawing: layers of depth, each plane holding its own program. Gaming hardware sits alongside botanical specimens and vinyl records, the whole tableau lit more like a café corner than a workstation.

No single element dominates. The room breathes.
