Within the limited square footage, homelife and work life flow easily into one another. “When we moved into this home, we briefly tried separating our work and personal lives into different spaces, and it quickly became a lesson in who we are,” Chaudhary says. “We want to wake up and see exactly where we left off the night before.”
The living room functions as a fluid space—less a room for socializing than a home for their objects. At present, it holds two of their most recent collections: the Long-Haired Sconces and Flower Sconces from their New York launch, Flowers in Our Hair. Beyond these, there is something from nearly every chapter of Soft-Geometry’s practice, including tables, lamps, chairs, and mirrors.

In the workspace, a vintage workbench table is in the center of the room. “One wall holds the screen, the computer and pin-up walls covered in collection notes and references,” Zacharias says. On the other wall, red Componibili storage units by Anna Castelli Ferrierihold hold color samples, swatches and all the small things that resist categorization. The room has also become the place to flip through a book, spread out sketches, and lay out photo prints when they’re editing. Adjacent to this room is the kitchen, rendered in steel and white. Its 12-foot ceiling leaves a generous stretch of space above the cabinets, which is filled with their favorite artworks, plants, and books. The island, used for both eating (and working), is a vintage Neolt Architetto drafting table.
“It feels strange to call this a home office, because it isn’t very office-like—it’s a workspace, and a mess most of the time,” Chaudhary says. The Breuer chairs were found via Craigslist in San Francisco, and the Vico Magistretti Selene chair and a Joe Colombo Universale chair are from Etsy. The Componibili storage units are by Anna Castelli Ferrieri.
