    Name: Cédric D.

    Location: Paris, France

    Room size: 13 m² (140 ft²)

    Cost of the setup: ~$6,5K

    Social media: Twitter, Reddit, Demeterium on Discord

    Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

    My name is Cédric. I’m 43 years old, and I live in the north of Paris.

    I’ve always been passionate about technology, especially computer science. I studied in this field when the Internet was not widespread.

    A walnut home office with a wide screen and long desk

    I started my career in IT as a technician and then quickly progressed as a system administrator. Then I worked as an infrastructure architect. After that, I became a project manager.

    It’s no longer work when it’s passion.

    I’ve been working at an IT consulting company for quite a few years, where I’ve been managing a few architecture migrations and transformation projects, particularly in the Cloud (Azure or AWS).

    In my field, working from home is quite popular. The pandemic and a new space in my home have pushed me to rethink my entire desk setup to be as comfortable as possible.

    Take us through your setup

    My future home office dated back to when I left high school. The room was sparsely furnished.

    It was way too classic and not at all for my taste. The office was used little for working and served more as a storage room than anything else.

    Then the pandemic started, and the bigger home office space that I could use pushed me to rethink everything.

    A clean home office in walnut colour

    It took about six months to create the foundation of the workspace.

    It’s been years since I had headphones from the Meze brand: a 99 Classics. It wasn’t my first set of headphones, but it’s the one I definitely prefer over the others: as beautiful as it’s technically good.

    The one I own has a particularity. A cabinetmaker/carpenter friend redid the earcups with a lighter walnut wood than when it was originally.

    It brought it closer to the colour of the leather.
