With a dozen-odd start-up offices under her belt, the designer is making waves in the world of workplaces.
Dani Arps neither subscribes to nor rejects contemporary workplace design trends. She readily embraces the push to provide employees with comfortable and amenity-rich spaces. Some ideas, like the now-ubiquitous (although increasingly criticized) open-plan layout, Arps cautiously endorses, depending on the client: “It’s not good, it’s not bad, but it doesn’t necessarily work for most offices,” she says. Still other trends, like the obsession with socalled millennial pink, Arps dismisses outright (“It’s a beautiful color, but I’ve seen designs that go overboard. Like, why did this cotton candy ball explode all over this restaurant?”).
