Much of the furniture in Zee's Oakland abode—including her coffee table, dining table, and large bench—was made by herself along with fellow woodworker Katie Gong. The pendant lamps are by San Francisco–based illustrator and ceramicist Sam Lee; a Saffron + Poe chair sits in the corner backed by a minimalist Küdd:krig Home tapestry. The neon art on the wall is by local artist Meryl Pataky, and the ceramic knots are by New York City–based MQuan Studio.
