			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Artist, <a href="http://cargocollective.com/elisabethdunker" target="_blank">photographer</a>, <a href="http://www.studioviolet.se/we/us.html" target="_blank">designer</a> and blogger Elisabeth Dunker lives in Sweden with her husband Dennis, their two kids, Tovalisa 12, Otto 9 and their Devon Rex cat, Hiro. Her <a href="http://www.finelittleday.com/?page_id=15" target="_blank">blog</a>, Fine Little Day covers art and design. <em><a href="http://property.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/property/interiors/article6953167.ece?token=null&amp;offset=24&amp;page=3" target="_blank">The Times</a> </em>called it  quirky and put it at the top of their 50 best international design blogs. Here Elisabeth lets us into her home office.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/Elisabeth-of-Fine-Little-Day.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7058" title="Elisabeth of Fine Little Day" src="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/Elisabeth-of-Fine-Little-Day.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="615" /><br />
</a><strong>How long have you worked from home? And where is home? </strong>I&#8217;ve worked from home the last 12 years. Home is in Gothenburg. (Sweden&#8217;s second biggest city).</p>
<p><strong>Describe your style? How would you define your aesthetic? </strong>Mixed. Inconsistent, patched and repaired.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/Elisabeth-of-Fine-Little-Day3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7059" title="Elisabeth of Fine Little Day3" src="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/Elisabeth-of-Fine-Little-Day3.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="278" /><br />
</a><strong>How do you keep your work space organized? </strong>The most important things like bills and other important papers I keep in a document collector. Otherwise I don&#8217;t keep it very organized.</p>
<p><strong>When you set up your home office what did you have to keep in mind? Were there any particular obstacles to overcome? </strong>It was important to have a good chair because I sit a lot in my work. I also wanted to be able to cover up the big window since I work with photos on screen. The biggest obstacles, well I should have installed a timer or something so I took more breaks. I tend to work to much, that most be the biggest obstacles for me.</p>

</a><strong>Is there any piece of home office furniture you covet right now?</strong>I have a good chair, &#8220;Sun&#8221; partly designed by Bruno Mathsson. A better desk maybe, bigger and more flexible.</p>
<p><strong>What desk accessory can&#8217;t you do without</strong>? The document collector. The computer!</p>
<p><strong>What would you change about your work space? </strong>I&#8217;m always dreaming of better storage (below are <a href="http://www.studioviolet.se/products/friends%20of%20violet%20collection/journals/journals.htm" target="_blank">journals</a> designed by Elisabeth and Camilla Engman. Together they run <a href="http://www.studioviolet.se/we/us.html" target="_blank">Studio Violet</a>)</p>
