Designed for the DAPY US headquarters in New York, the project centers on optimizing the use of space while using color and material to establish a clear spatial hierarchy. Public and private zones are carefully delineated—creating an environment that is both welcoming to clients and distinctly organized for the team.
A key element of the design is an integrated system of display shelving, which serves both functional and expressive purposes. These moments of display highlight the company’s work within the workspace itself, creating an ongoing dialogue between process and presentation.
The result is a functional, comfortable, and elevated office—where clarity of layout, material contrast, and thoughtful detailing come together to reflect DAPY’s identity and way of working.

The client meeting room is centrally positioned within the space, directly adjacent to the display area, allowing the team to seamlessly guide clients through their product offerings. This intentional layout creates a natural progression into the “dark” zone—a thoughtfully designed environment painted in deep tones to highlight products featuring integrated lighting and illuminated accessories.
Natural light filters through the space, softly illuminating the display room and enhancing the materiality of each piece. Products are thoughtfully arranged to feel both curated and approachable, allowing clients to engage with them in a calm, gallery-like setting. The atmosphere is bright, open, and quietly refined—supporting both exploration and conversation.
Located just off the entry, the kitchenette sits alongside a feature display wall, creating an immediate and welcoming focal point. Clean lines and integrated finishes keep the space minimal, while the adjacent display subtly showcases key products. It’s a compact, functional moment that blends hospitality with brand expression.
