The project
Creating comfort
This Minneapolis home remodel embodies two of Jo-Lu’s core strengths — the ingenious use of space, and creatively functional design.
The Living Room
Furnishing fun
Jo-Lu built custom fixtures and furniture with design sophistication for the grown-ups and built-in fun (and durability) for the kids. This one-of-a-kind cube was designed and fabricated to serve as a coffee table, play surface and art object. It’s been a success at all three.
The Home Office
From blank wall to custom workspace
This compact home office features frame inset cabinets that are perfectly scaled to maximize useful storage in a minimal footprint. The desk chair is a custom design utilizing CNC fabrication. A vintage desk and lively wallpaper completed the transformation from blank space to cozy office.
The Home Office
Seating without settling
Instead of settling for uninspiring flat-pack furniture, Jo-Lu designed and fabricated the frames and upholstery for these strikingly artistic, comfortable and durable chairs. Add a sized-for-the-room custom end table with sliding-door storage and this minimalist snug was complete.
The Playroom
Head over heels
Kids need outlets for their energy that are challenging, fun, and available on short notice. This custom creation turned a doorway into an adjustable home gym with a stylishly low profile.
