What DAB Studio does

DAB Studio is a full-service interior architecture and design studio founded in 2016 by Lotte Bruns and Dennis Antonio Bruns and headquartered at Keizersgracht 628 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The firm employs approximately six staff, including interior designers and architects, and extends its delivery capacity through a curated network of craftsmen, artists, and specialists. Its core offering is bespoke interior architecture and design for high-net-worth private residential clients, with a complementary portfolio of retail and commercial projects.

The studio operates a professional services model, generating revenue through project fees for full-scope engagements that run from concept through completion and include spatial planning, custom furniture curation, material selection, and project management. There is no publicly disclosed pricing; clients engage via direct contact ([email protected]) or a contact form, reflecting a high-touch, sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market. The underlying technology stack is standard for the discipline: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, and Microsoft Excel. There are no proprietary software products, no AI/ML capabilities, and no app or API surface.

DAB Studio's commercial footprint is concentrated in the Netherlands, with named projects across Amsterdam, Zwaag, and Monnickendam, but the firm has built substantial international brand visibility through earned media. Its work has been featured in Architectural Digest (Germany, France, Italy, Spain), ELLE Decoration (UK, NL, Spain, Korea, Italy), Dezeen, Yellowtrace, Harper's Bazaar NL, Phaidon's "The Book of Interior Design," and the Frame Awards (Bathroom of the Year, 2022). Marketing is predominantly organic, driven by portfolio quality, Instagram, and press, with project acquisition flowing from referrals and direct inbound. The company is privately held, founder-owned, with no disclosed external funding, subsidiaries, or M&A activity.
