Diane von Furstenberg Studio Headquarters
In the mid-70s Diane von Furstenberg made her name with the iconic wrap dress. From there she set about building her business into what it is today, a luxury fashion house with international reach. The company’s new headquarters are located in the ultra trendy Meatpacking District in New York City. The HQ occupies a six storey building, which is topped off by a jagged edged glass sphere which makes up part of the penthouse suite. The design was headed by WORK Architecture who aimed to maximise natural light and interblend the historic surroundings with contemporary design. Thus according to them, “instead of hiding new elements behind the historic facades, the project is conceived of as a dialogue between contemporary materials and the renovated elements.”
