Meet Dutch East Design, a New York based interior design company that specializes in stunning interiors and branding for the hospitality industry. They aim to create tailor-made hospitality, retail and residential spaces with an artistic hand and technical precision. They are a united front that is “passionate about the entire design process—from project conception through completion”. “While the early stage of a project is where we really get excited about big design gestures, the later stages provide an opportunity to focus on the details and construction. We love using drawing as a design tool. Putting pen to paper to create the initial sketches is immensely rewarding and crucial to our creative process, especially when you look back at them upon project completion to revisit the genesis of all the finished work”. This means that they enjoy the whole process, paying attention to every detail.

As a team, their goal is to create a design long-lasting, beautiful and functional spaces by listening carefully to the client’s needs and thoughtfully evaluating the nature of each space. Their devotion to high-quality details and materials enriches projects with custom custom furniture, art and lighting made by skilled craftspeople. They commit a 100% to achieve that goal in completion, so there’s nothing more fullfilling to them then “seeing guests experience our projects, whether for the first time or as a frequently returning customer, and having them be just as excited as we are about all of the design details and unique aspects of the project”. “It’s always satisfying when our work is positively received by guests, when we know that the venue is operating smoothly, and even when we see unforeseen positive outcomes. The whole process from initial conception to opening night is extremely rewarding”. Through that experience with the client, they get to establish a tied and close relationship, where the firm focuses all their attention on the project they’re involved.

Throughout the years, the company established itself, keeping a large amount of experience, as well as many contacts and several resources, wether on a national or international level. Within that experience, they have commitments with many specific people from their audience, where they invest on “social dynamics within a space, and really take into consideration our audience during the design process. We’re constantly learning from the end-user and are always looking for ways to better understand how they’re going to use and interact with the space”. Through that dynamic with their audience and bespoke relationship, they’re able to grasp a particular concept of clients, that are “entrepreneurial and adventurous. They’re willing to be innovative. As hospitality business people they love the energy of the venues they create. They truly enjoy helping shape the guests experience”.

For the future, Dutch East Design is anticipating a major change on the hospitality area, within the interior design. They have realized that people are looking for experiences, what makes them feel good, both phisically and mentally. “We’re seeing the realities of the transitional economy and a change in how individuals are spending their money. Today, people want to spend their money on experiences, and lately the notion of wellness has pushed through all markets. People are much more passionate about that which will enrich their wellbeing– physically, spiritually, socially. We’re seeing this especially within the hospitality industry. Furthermore, there obviously has to be a huge paradigm shift in design– and property development– to establish a sustainable future”.
