Hailed by Architectural Digest as a firm that “is able to capture a desired mood or ambiance emphatically,” this incredibly exciting design duo presents its most intriguing domestic projects in this eagerly awaited debut.

Studio DB, a Manhattan-based architecture and interiors firm headed by Britt and Damian Zunino, is inspired by contextual design and eclecticism—the resulting work embraces the juxtaposition of and tension between polished and playful, modern and traditional. Their projects incorporate a mix of materials, sculptural forms, and whimsical pattern and colour, all anchored by a contemporary desire for domestic ease. Design details distinguish their work, with tactile materials interpreted in fresh ways. Examples include exquisite de Gournay wallpaper paired with suspended lamps in a variety of geometric forms and the terrazzo floor of a city foyer, incorporating massive chunks of stone slabs and smaller rocks from the client’s climbing adventures.

With varied backgrounds in fashion, design, action sports, and architecture, Britt and Damian approach each scheme with an openness and a sense of excitement. As the duo states in the book’s introduction, “In the end, it’s the dialog, the push and pull between different viewpoints from different eras, that makes the end result more engaging.”

Britt and Damian Zunino are the principals of Studio DB. They founded the studio in 2007 and have completed residential and commercial projects throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. Tim McKeough is a design writer who contributes to the New York Times, Elle Decor, and Architectural Digest. Jimmy Chin and Chai Vasarhelyi are Oscar-winning filmmakers. Studio DB has designed their Manhattan apartment and the headquarters of their company, Little Monster Films.
