Hey, Detrik! Tell us a bit about yourself

I work as a private carpentry contractor — designing and building have always been a passion of mine.

That is why utilising my job experience for my own office space has been satisfying and enjoyable.

Detrik’s zen gaming setup has many oddities and curiosities. For example, the top part of the cairn (above the Poké Ball) is a Google Mini that plays music for meditation, sounds of nature or lo-fi songs. There’s also a sloth hiding in the leaves above the monitor — can you spot it?

Can you describe your zen setup?

I wanted to have a home office that felt serene and calming. And for me, that means lots of nature, clean white surfaces, and cosy lighting.

Some may say I went overboard with greenery. However, as someone whose favourite activities are hiking and being outside, having a space that reflects where I most like to be is crucial.
