SAY Studio and Design Infinity completed the Det Norske Veritas (DNV) offices in Dubai, an artful transformation through marine-inspired elements and a cohesive environment that encourages social connection.

DNV approached SAY Studio for the design of their offices to create a space that fosters social cohesion, harmony, and transformation.

Our concept positions DNV as the cornerstone of trust and dependability, offering an experience that mirrors the feeling of leaning into faith, with the assurance of light and success at the end of the tunnel for those bold enough to make that choice.

With the industry being predominantly within the maritime trade and with a deeper exploration of their slogan of trust, symbols like ties, knots, chain links, water for purification and transparency and the color blue serve as inspiration and features throughout the space.
