De-spec is primarily focused on the experience, working the domain of the ‘lived space’ the approach is based on the design as part of a lifestyle.
Space is choreographed to produce the desired experience, and so in essence an ‘experience’ is designed. Instead of designing the object and the container from the ‘bird’s eye view’, the project is explored from within, striving to define the ‘inside out’ as the very essence of space and experience. 212.633.6626 I de-spec.com
