Productive Home Office & Desk Setup Tour 2023 | Minimal & Cozy 

Thanks so much!

That is not a minimalist setup. In and around his desk he has over like 30-50 items. In fact, he has more visible items than I do in my entire kitchen, desk setup, and probably half my bedroom.

Interesting. You have made me consider the word "minimal" more deeply than I have previously. I initially thought of "minimal" as just meaning "very few things." And then I started to wonder if there was an objective number that if you are below that number, you are minimal, but if you go above that number, you are no longer minimal. And then I started wondering what that number would be? And then I watched the video. The desk, to me, as "very few things" on it. Seems minimal to me. The room only seems to have things that he uses. I liked his keyboard display. If I had a similar sized peg board for keyboards, I would have to choose which ones to display because they wouldn't all fit. But, more to the point, perhaps the number for "minimal" is variable depending on the person and what they want to accomplish? I do see the word "minimal" thrown around a lot. To be fair, I mostly do see it applied to desks that contain "very few things." Perhaps the word "intentional" should accompany "minimal" more as in this video?

Thanks a lot, kapatid! ✨🙏

@@jeffryesmeralda Thank you brother! Subscribed to your channel as well! ✨

@@ark.curate Wow 😮! Maraming salamat bro! May God bless your YT empire and Architecture gig. I'll also do my best to mention you on some of my future videos.

Thanks a lot! 🙏

​@@ark.curate what's the texture/color called.

Thank you! I appreciate this a lot!

Thanks a lot bro! 🙏

Thanks bro!! 🙏

Amazing insight!!!

Very interesting thoughts on sit/stand desks which I don't disagree with, however... was the something in the video about sit/stand desks? I might have zoned out and missed it? 🤔

Great predicament. I like having a metal pegboard for devices I can latch/stick on it. However, I also appreciate the system of Skadis in terms of storage options and customization. So basically it will depend on your preferences at the end of the day on which one you’d wanna prioritize. 😄

Thanks!

Thank you!

Hey man! Hope you enjoyed your stay! I feel like because of the post-lockdown conditions, the accessibility to tech here easier. Very recently, Amazon started to offer a more efficient delivery service at least in Manila. So if ever you do need something which can only be found in the US, ordering is easier. Most other products are now accessible in a lot of malls and online stores, and more and more tech brands are opening their doors to the PH market. So yes, I am satisfied so far. 😄

Glad it was helpful!

I linked the speakers to the monitor so I could use them for the PC using the HDMI as sound output. And for the Mac Mini, I connected them to the Rode AI-1 interface through the back of the speakers. I then selected the RODE AI-1 as my sound output.

It just sits on top of the light bar using the webcam’s clamp. It’s a little unstable, but it’s alright for me.

It’s from ErgoHome! Thank you! 🙏

Ikea! 😄

It's likely this display has multiple input sources. Connect two input sources to different computers and on the display, select the input source for the computer you want. His mouse is the MX Master S3 which can pair with up to 3 devices. The mouse then lets you select which computer to control. I didn't catch which keyboard he has, but there are keyboards that let you pair with up to 3 devices same as the mouse I described.

Thanks! I just use the Bluetooth function of my peripherals since my keyboard and mouse can connect to up to 3 devices. For the monitor, I just switch the source channels.

It’s alright and surprisingly stable. My monitor just wobbles, but the desk is great. 😄

No temp issues for over a year now!

Thank you! Will pm!!

Great office design! Really love the desk? Please share where to get one. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks bro! Just pick any eggshell finish paint with a roller brush and apply two coats!

Thanks and I'm rooting for you man! 🙏

Yes it does a great job overall! No overheating so far. Excited for your build too! ✴️

You’re right! Lol. Thank you for the feedback. I will be more mindful. 😅

Just search Fliqlo! 😀

Great question. The short answer to that is no. It does not really affect performance. I find that the UI elements are scaled well automatically. Although depending on your vision and preference, you can always adjust.

It’s called Crater Black from Nippon Paint. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

Salamat sir! Haha. Anong kinuha mo?

@@ark.curate yung lightbar, kaso yung xiaomi na brand

Thanks! The stand comes with the monitor itself.

Thanks David! I actually did think I jumped the gun because I was planning to get the desk after I move out of this space. But adding the word "finally" made it confusing. Lol. Really appreciate your comment!

Thanks Roi! It’s available for download through the link in my description box.

It's called Crater Black by Nippon Paint

It’s called Crater Black from Nippon paint. 😊

It's the monitor mount that comes with the monitor itself.

Haha thanks man! We’ll get there. 🙏

@@ark.curate please remember me when you are famous

It’s called Crater Black from Nippon Paint

It’s from a brand called Possibuild. Not sure if it’s available internationally.

Wouldn’t recommend using a TV. Better get a more color accurate monitor that’s really meant for editing.

@@ark.curate ok thank you

It comes with the monitor itself. LG 32UN880-B

Great question! Just to angle my face better during video calls.

Thanks man! Matthew’s always been an inspiration. 🙏

@@ark.curate Likewise bro!

Yes! It’s in the description.

Everything was just velcro-ed! Will make a video about it soon too. 😄

Looks to me like he bit the bullet and jumped the gun on pulling the trigger? 🤔

LG 32” 4K UN-880B

I super love Matthew Encina too.

I never got used to using a numpad at all.

Is it possible that "minimalistic" is subjective rather than objective? 🤔

Glad it was helpful!

@@ark.curate for sure man! Keep them coming 👍🏽
