What dp studio does

dp studio GmbH is a privately held design and planning office headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany (registered at the Essen Local Court) that delivers professional creative and technical services for events, trade shows, TV productions and permanent architectural installations. Its service portfolio spans six offerings: creative Consulting, Lighting Design, Technical Planning, Technical Management & Project Management, AVA & Controlling, and On-site Services. The firm's value proposition is the combination of creative vision with technical planning and execution expertise, particularly in the use of light and shadow to shape space, mood and architectural staging.

Revenue is generated on a project-by-project, professional-services basis rather than via subscription or recurring contracts. Customers are enterprise buyers across three horizontal segments: brands and corporations (e.g., Mercedes-Benz AG, Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge, Grohe AG, Viega GmbH, Jungheinrich, LYNK&Co, AVATR), agencies and event organizers (e.g., fischerAppelt, D'Art Design Gruppe, BraunWagner), and architects and building owners for permanent installations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements are scoped per project. Two co-Managing Directors — Dirk Feuerstein and Tim Bodenmüller — lead the firm; Feuerstein's prior lighting-design work at rgb GmbH (including the Mercedes G-Class World Premiere in Detroit) signals the creative pedigree underpinning the studio's enterprise wins. The Düsseldorf HQ is supported by an international delivery footprint spanning Germany, Sweden, Greece, the United States, and a long-standing partnership with Shanghai-based studio rgb for APAC execution (evidenced by the AVATR Automechanika 2024 activation). No funding events, M&A activity, headcount figures, or financial disclosures were identified in the source material.
