It’s a 1,000-square-foot dwell/work loft in a transformed warehouse that Malgorzata, a sculptor, and Tycjan, a painter and artwork supplier, personalized with recycled birch ply kitchen counters, painted Ikea cupboards, a hand-built dividing wall, and a DIY Donald Judd–like couch.

It’s fabricated from a pine body painted in Farrow & Ball Shaded White and completed with double-sided cloth panels stapled to the body. The display is wedged between the ground and ceiling with screws that hold it in place. “We didn’t need to put up an ordinary plasterboard partition wall, and the curtain we have been utilizing earlier than by no means felt substantial sufficient,” Malgorzata says. The inspiration for the divider “got here from Japanese interiors; from a sensible perspective, it was merely one of the best answer.” The uncooked wooden cupboards, as earlier than, are Ivar Pine Cupboard from Ikea. The Windsor chair is classic, from Ercol, that they stripped and painted matte black.
