Daniele Perna Designs is a boutique architecture and interior design studio devoted to Living Design: A Vision Worth Living—creating spaces that nurture presence, beauty, and becoming. A true home is not merely walls and roof; it is a sanctuary for the soul—a mirror of the values, dreams, and wisdom we carry. Interiors can either nourish or dull these subtle realities. Through intuition, deep listening, and reverence for the spirit’s invisible needs, Daniele shapes environments born of authenticity—not trend or mimicry—where joy awakens, creativity sparks, and the rhythms of life are restored. Spaces are not backdrops; they are living forces shaping how we feel, think, and choose to live. In a complex world, interior quality is essential to balance, clarity, and growth. Living Design rests on this truth: soul-centered environments can reshape our state, uplift awareness, and nurture a life worth living. True design is a form of revelation. Everyone responds to the language of space—color, light, material, texture, proportion, form. Intentional composition eases stress, heightens perception, and stirs deeper knowing. Beauty is not indulgence; it is a portal to dignity, restoration, and remembrance. In an age of simulation and excess, Daniele crafts interiors and architecture where the human spirit remembers itself—and rises. Projects include private residences in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Telluride, San Francisco, and Phoenix; two 12th Street apartments in Greenwich Village and a new Upper West Side apartment project. Highlights include the Zafran Boutique Hotel (Italy), the MXYPLYZYK retail store (New Jersey), the Joan Shepp fashion boutique (Philadelphia), and YogaSmoga in Connecticut and California. He is preparing a flower-photography exhibition extending Living Design into art. Karate is inseparable from Daniele’s design work. Karate and kata are built on angles, geometry, rhythm, and flow—the same principles that govern architecture and interiors. He earned his Shodan in 2022 at Ken-Wa Kan Dojo; he now trains at Iwata Dojo (kata and kumite) and at Ronin Kai Karate, pursuing Nidan under Shihan Bhinda via advanced weapons and samurai curriculum. For Daniele, martial arts and design are one practice: aligning body, mind, and spirit through form and presence. Daniele lives and works in New York’s West Village. His daughter is in her third year at UVA, and he continues projects in both New York and Telluride. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Home Remodeling - Architectural Drawings - Custom Homes - House Plans - New Home Construction - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Kitchen Design - Kitchen Remodeling - Floor Plans - 3D Rendering - Bathroom Design - Space Planning - Drafting - Project Management - Basement Remodeling - Basement Design - Attic Conversion - Tiny House Construction - Deck Design - Landscape Plans - Home Gym Design & Construction ### Areas Served - New York City - Manhattan - Hamptons - Harrison - Inwood - Newark - Fairview - Lodi - Philadelphia - Bloomfield - Hillside - Belleville - Aspen - Avalon NJ - California - Cliffside Park - Edgewater - Fort Lee - Ft Lee - Guttenberg - Hoboken - Italy - Jersey City - Kearny - Leonia - Little Ferry - Lyndhurst - Middle Village - North Arlington - North Bergen - North Hsmpton - Nutley - Palisades Park - Passaic - Phoeniz - Ridgefield - Ridgefield Park - Rutherford - Secaucus - South Hampton - Stowe - Telluride - Teterboro - Vail - Wallington - West New York ### Typical Job Cost $25,000 - 3,000,000 Our typical job costs can range widely depending on scope.

He performed a miracle, transforming a cold, bare studio into a warm, sophisticated, and peaceful home for my law student son—on a four-day timeline. What he and his team pulled off was nothing short of magic. > > Our process began with Daniele reviewing the floor plan and taking his own measurements. Then, we headed for a whirlwind trip to Ikea. He was my design guru, explaining how we could find beautifully designed, well-made furniture that was in stock and ready to go. My favorite pro tip from the day: he pointed out how many pieces were inspired by high-end, mid-century modern classics! > > The whole experience felt like a collaboration. Daniele would access his vision as a designer, locking in on what worked. Was it the right scale, color, and style? Did it meet his high standards for the environment and for my son, a 24-year-old law student? Thanks to his ability to curate and guide, every choice came together beautifully, and I love the finished product. > > Assembly day was seamless, thanks to the experienced team of local technicians/installers. A cozy bedroom nook emerged, created with a charming Japanese-inspired screen. The soft gray upholstered headboard and a funky bedside lamp added just the right amount of warmth and personality. > > The living room came together just as beautifully with a mid-century-style sofa, an oval coffee table, and a textured blue rug that gave the whole area warmth. A Danish table with modern chairs doubled as a dining spot and study desk. What Daniele called a sculptural chair near the mirrors became a statement piece, and the mirrors themselves were beautiful. He also added art to make the space feel bigger and brighter. The patio wasn’t forgotten either; he placed simple but elegant outdoor furniture that turned the small terrace into another living space. Even the foyer and bathroom were given attention: a triptych of canvases welcomed you at the entrance, while the bathroom was finished with accessories and art that made it feel complete. Every corner of the apartment was well thought out, beautiful, and a perfect space for a young law student. > > Here’s the part that shows you who Daniele really is: I was thrilled and thought we were done. But Daniele, committed to putting on the “finishing touches,” gently persuaded me that the space needed an area rug. Thank goodness I listened! That rug, along with the art he selected, made the room, giving it a polished and complete look. > > To get these results in months would have been amazing. To get them in four days is unbelievable. Daniele is passionate, honorable, and a true professional who is meticulous about every last detail. It’s a comfort to know he’ll be there for my future projects. Bravo and thank you, Daniele and your team! **★★★★★ — carrie rae, Sept. 2025** > I worked with Daniele Perna Designs on the renovation of my one-bedroom condominium in San Francisco. The objective was to create an apartment specifically tailored as a corporate rental for a professional tenant. > > Daniele provided comprehensive remote consultation and design guidance. He advised me on every aspect of the project — from the redesigned kitchen and bathroom to cabinetry, pantry, flooring, colors, curtains, and furnishings — ensuring that all elements worked together cohesively. He also produced full architectural construction documentation, including kitchen plans and elevations, which gave my contractor precise direction for the build. > > As someone with a background in operations and facilities management, I was consistently impressed by Daniele’s professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence. Beyond his technical expertise, he brings an unmistakable positivity and refreshing fervor for life to his work. He leads his team with genuine enthusiasm and is both a thoughtful professional and a joyful collaborator. > > The finished apartment is modern, functional, and welcoming — perfectly suited to appeal to discerning corporate tenants. I am very grateful for his support and consultation throughout the process, and I highly recommend Daniele Perna Designs to anyone seeking thoughtful, professional, and comprehensive design expertise, whether local or remote. **★★★★★ — Sheree West, March 2023** > Danielé has been a tremendous asset and Implementer in the construction, full gut renovation project, interior designing and working with the contractor renovating my upstairs apartment ! This apartment is in a 1910 building where I have lived for some decades. > > From the start he has worked to “Get” my individual taste and orientation! And to realize them in the many choices necessary as one designs and renovates an apartment in an old building. He consistently works to implement, with enthusiasm, my taste and needs. His professional experience comes into play as he knows thoroughly, the structural, functional relationships and requirements lying behind any aesthetic goals we have accomplished. I love the kitchen floor tile design, reminiscent of a 1910 floor pattern that Daniele researched, got samples, developed and drew up several drawings of the layout detail and then we worked on the design process together. It was quite a process for Daniele to guide me to a design pattern I was happy with. It was a joyful process. He pulls ideas together in a wonderful integration. > > He is a terrific problem-solver, because he truly knows how things work in the world of interior design and construction, and he’s had lots of lifetime professional experience to be able to analyze and choreograph all the components, physical, aesthetic and functional – that need to be pulled together to make an interior design and all the processes work, aesthetically and functionally. I am repeatedly Grateful ! **★★★★★ — Joseph E. Ferrigno, Nov. 2021** > I have known and worked with Daniele Perna since 1998. Mr. Perna is an exceptional designer. He is passionate, dedicated and full of energy. I admire his tenacity, intelligence and skill he possesses. > > Daniele Perna has a long history of professionalism and design acumen. He has worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment as a set designer and has produced time and time again beautiful interior design solutions for both private and commercial application. > > Daniele lives design. Every aspect of his life is artfully executed. When he is given a task or project he fully commits and is dedicated to successful outcome. This is true whether he is giving a dinner party, designing a retail or residential interior. > > I have worked with Daniele extensively and always find the experience rewarding. Mr. Perna is attentive to his client’s vision and is a keen listener. He is exceedingly organized and can be relied on to guide his clients, in a very detailed manner, through the design process. > > I cannot recommend working with Daniele Perna designs more enthusiastically. Working with him to achieve your goals will be rewarding and satisfying. > > Joseph Edward Ferrigno > Ferrigno Art And Design > Ferrigno Graphic Arts **★★★★★ — carrie rae, Feb. 2021** > It was a pleasure and a fun experience working with Daniele Perna Designs to create a thoughtful, flexible, work from home desk solution for my NYC studio apartment. Since my studio is just about 270 sq feet, options for a working desk area had to be extremely creative. The collaboration and design process was really exciting and inspiring. We exchanged ideas and then narrowed it down to two options. The options he designed reflected my individual style and working space needs. Seeing these options through the drawings allowed me to visualize and make decisions. > > I had some time to think about the first option, which was a custom designed work surface that was integrated with my radiator cover. I realized that perhaps I would like to have a desk that I could eventually take with me when I move, so I shifted the course. I shared my thoughts with Mr. Perna and from there we moved to deciding on a solution/desk that I could take with me. I did some research to find a desk that would fit over the radiator. Finding a desk with the legs in the correct position to clear the radiator presented a great challenge. I sent all the desks I loved to Mr. Perna and he studied the leg position in connection to the radiator, but none of desks would work. He then decided to take on the challenge and looked at the entire space. I was provided with a new furniture plan that opened up the room and provided an additional open area with space to add a 20" depth desk. I love the new furniture plan, it changed my apartment. I can now purchase the desk that suits my taste, and take it with me when I move. Mr. Perna was very patient and wonderful through this design process to help me make good decisions about investing in long term functionality. Because of my decision to change the course of the project, it did increase my services budget, however I am very satisfied with the outcome and the design decisions executed by Mr. Perna. > > Daniele Perna Designs is a innovative efficient team that is extremely talented, personable, pays rigorous attention to detail and focused on delivering customer satisfaction. I would highly recommend their services. **★★★★★ — shemonoski, Jan. 2021** > Working with Daniele is a pleasure. Being a Loyal Trade Partner to in the design industry we see first hand how much Daniele really cares for his clients. He loves what he does and his work shows it. Hands down fantastic! **★★★★★ — Adam Swartz, July 2018** > Daniele Perna is an alchemist who has transmuted his many years of experience into the gold of wisdom. He becomes a co-creator and enables you to realize your vision by taking you through every step of the process. He communicates directly and listens intently to your needs. I always felt that when working with Daniele I was under the care of a wise man who not only was helping realize what I wanted, but advocating for me. He is a strong business man who can deal with the practicalities that can be so intimidating for those of us who do not deal with that world: contractors, pricing, materials, furniture selection and all the many details that can easily go unnoticed. Mr. Perna has the amazing facility of holding the large vision in his mind while simultaneously, fiercely attending to details. I frankly can not imagine ever hiring another designer again having been fortunate to have met and worked with Mr. Perna. Highly, highly recommended. **★★★★★ — O'Lampia Studio, July 2018** > We have worked with Daniele for about 15 years on custom lighting projects. He is very easy to work with. He is very much into details, considering the socket, plug, wire box- everything matters in his creations. Sometimes he'll bring in his own material, other times he'll use O'lampia's materials, and together we will achieve the desired look. **★★★★★ — Marisa Bordonaro, May 2018** > I have worked with Daniele for several years and he continues to have a clear and creative direction on his vision and the needs of his clients. He is constantly trying to implement our latest design trends in a unique and beautiful way. He is great in terms of communication and has been enjoyable to work with over the years. **Comment from Danielé Perna Designs:** > Marissa has represented Porcelanosa NYC at the highest standard. I connected with her at the ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) many years ago. She soon after came to the design office with a fantastic presentation of new Spanish tiles of varying sizes, bathroom Furniture and Fixtures. She has a great wisdom of the product lines she sells and is always willing to go the extra route to make it work for me and our clients. She is a great problem solver when we come into obstacles. We are currently using book matching Carrara marble porcelain pattern 4 x 10 tile product from the showroom for a West Village bathroom that has saved the client thousands of dollars. **★★★★★ — Stephanie Rudloe, March 2018** > Daniele Perna approaches every project with passionate intensity and meticulous attention to detail and budget. His deep knowledge and experience with Moroccan tile installation is a rare valuable resource. > Imports from Marrakesh has worked with Daniele Perna as a trade professional for over a decade. His firm is the \#1 designer referral that we provides to clients in need of design professional who is an expert in design and installation of Moroccan tile for fireplaces, baths, kitchens, terraces, and for floors and walls. Imports from Marrakesh has collaborated with Daniele Perna Designs in regional and international interior design projects. > Imports from Marrakesh > Relationship: Vendor **Comment from Danielé Perna Designs:** > I have been working with the owner and the design branding principal for 17 years. They bring a European style to the entire design process of purchasing. Attentive to custom tailoring product, tiles for the Boutique Hotel (Zellij Tiles), and any other product that is made in Morocco. I went on a vacation/trade tour for 2.5 weeks with the owner and was able to see and meet artisans that are working in the craft of tile, weaving, lighting, and pottery that comes from a rich history thousands of years old. **★★★★★ — ellenshepp, March 2018** > Joan Shepp Women’s boutique. > Joan Shepp has been providing High-end fashion for 45 years and we offer an eclectic assortment of European & American designer shoes and clothing. When we decided to give our Walnut Street 7000sq ft boutique a new Shoe Lounge we wanted to hire a New York based design firm and through an excellent reference we found Daniele Perna Designs.( www.danielepernadesigns.com ) Daniele came to meet with us to discuss what we wanted our clients to experience when they came to visit Joan Shepp. Daniele was quickly able to understand what we wanted and help guide our vision to a real design and build a high fashion Shoe Lounge. > He asked questions about our clientele which resulted in a design that has them feeling good, energized, emotionally charged, and the center of attention. His design ideas are inventive, and he has a wonderful method of illustrating them. His use of materials; cold steel and aluminum worked perfectly with the design of the space. It’s about our shoes being the central focus. He referred to the shoe shelving units as the floating shelving, the shelves had no visible structure holding them up. With no visible structure there is no distracting material detail and the shoes are absolutely the focus.For the feature wall he used square unfinished tile and the contractor spray painted the tiles with several layers of aluminum to create the effect that they truly were aluminum. This was a beautiful feature wall, light came from behind to create impact and drama that our guests would first see this wall as they entered the Shoe Lounge. > One imaginative feature, he named the Shoe Vault, the closet which we stored the shoes. He believed that the shoes were worthy of storing in a vault as if the value of shoes is like gold etc. All of his concepts were fun and progressive. DPD created construction documentation, purchased materials, project managed outside manufacturers (Steel Craftsman) and the contractor. He was a pleasure to work with, worked with in a good budget and he was good at dealing with any problems that arose. I would recommend Mr. Perna for any project that needed a professional and creative impact. **Comment from Danielé Perna Designs:** > It is always a pleasure to work with design savvy clients. They are always in Paris searching for beautiful fashion and that Parisian aesthetic keeps them visually progressive. Joan and Ellen Shepp provided a good framework to create an excellent, exciting and sophisticated Shoe Boutique. I am looking forward to working with them in the future. **★★★★★ — Mia Schleifer, July 2017** > Mr. Danielé Perna of danielepernadesign.com came and saved my life when a kitchen renovation I had going on was like a sinking ship. I had been so excited about this kitchen renovation of my new apartment, but the project had left me in tears. > > The original General Contractor I had hired was completely failing me. What should have taken a month was dragging on more than 6 months due to poor management and a failing GC company. After some time, I could not get a hold of the CG and they were using more of a handyman to finish the project. > > After finding Mr. Perna and asking if he could fix this dilemma, he took on the project with an extremely positive attitude and enjoyed the challenge. He was undaunted by the task at hand. Now, after starting to work with Mr. Perna, it brings me excitement as to what the final project will be. > > His skill at troubleshooting the issues and confidence is unmatched. The first thing he did was call up the tile company in California (Fire Clay Tile) and explained how botched my tile install was and negotiated us a 25% discount on a future order because I now needed more tiles. He is bringing in his own tile workers because the first tile job by the handyman had to be ripped down because it was so poorly laid. Then he did conference calls with me and the contractor and even met with one of the subcontractors in person to get the job rolling again. > > Mr. Perna quickly drafted construction drawings in two days for the final design. These drawings were what was missing from the job in the first place. Mr. Perna also went to the reclaimed wood showroom with me (Sawkill Lumber Company) to help guide my choices. > > Finally, I feel like I have a professional project manager at my side instead of me trying to act like my own project manager. Being that this is my first renovation, I knew in my heart I needed to hire someone who knew what they were doing. > > Mr. Perna not only knows what he is doing from his years of experience on jobs both large and small all over New York City, but he is dedicating so much time and energy to my project. He came in person to my brand new condo several times to not only go over my ideas but also add new ones and do the measurements. > > He is managing every aspect and minute details of the job. Even my small job has so many details down to a 1/6th of an inch! He is an expert passionate designer that works with my aesthetic tastes and also contributes his own flair. My personal style is contemporary minimal in my new apartment and he helped me see adding more wood to the design details will help warm up the otherwise mostly white (and cold) kitchen. I surely need help not only with the interior architecture design but also with furniture purchase, layout, and overall color. > > I will never start another job without hiring Danielé Perna as the designer overseeing the project. I highly recommend him without reservation.

What do you think about this new realization? We personalized a bathroom for one of our clients. She decided to change regular space for something different and inflected as a completely new and fresh. Any further suggestions? :) http://bit.ly/pattern\_black\_white Aleksandra from Pixers Team A: Fantastic Wall Paper **Q: Do we need 5' or 6' rail and can you cut them down?** *(in Product Questions)* We have a 33" door to cover a 31" opening. To fully open the door, I believe we would need the 6' rail, but if it is too long, can it be cut? A: This is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship and design **Q: can this be installed on two corner walls?** *(in Product Questions)* I would like to use as a shower and a bathtub so I would like to attach the bath tub to two corner walls. A: You can have a custom glass wall designed and built which will keep the bathroom open. **Q: Can something like this be accomplished in a rental apartment?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: 1 Reviews for Danielé Perna Designs ottavianoron Relationship: Client Project Date: September 2015 Project Price: $10,000 - $49,999 I love the work of DP Designs. As Manhattan renters lacking a bedroom for our son, we came to Danielé based on an award-winning design he had done for a small commercial space we saw in Jersey City. (As friends of the owner, we knew Danielé designed the store on a shoestring budget.) We wanted a small but fully private extra bedroom while maintaining the light, airiness and beauty of our nineteenth-century West Village flat. We also did not want to risk giving the landlord ammunition to kick us out. Danielé researched the regulations concerning structural tie-ins. vs. modular rooms. After initial (and still-free) drawings, he communicated the city's laws with a grasp and clarity that completely reassured us. Then he rendered detailed plans. This is where DP Design excels and where we felt we got a ton of creative passion at a fraction of its usual cost. Danielé's solved our problem with a small architectural jewel that combines the best of Tokyo and Berlin, while incorporating details that reflect an Italian obsession with beauty. Better still, he communicated logistics and budget with clarity and understanding. His design captures an aesthetic that we all love. Danielé's taste in furniture and gift for built-ins seem to add harmony and space to his architectural design. The solution, both urbane and warm, looks far more expensive than it is and sensitively accommodates my son—without decimating the living space. Unbelievably, we have avoided the expensive migration to Brooklyn! Btw, we noticed that Danielé is a tough sourcer, driving down contractor and supplier prices and passing on savings to us. We highly recommend Danielé Perna Designs for its practicality and creative passion. **Q: What does Value Engineering mean?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: \+ VALUE ENGINEERED DESIGN When designing this home we aproached it with a reversed value engineering process. We started with the budget and every element was chosen based on meeting that budget. Some materials, and elements took a higher percentge of the budget, however while designing this home, the budget line items were looked at consistentenly to keep them on track. This method of designing does take much more time to achieve a excellent stansard. In every case the materials were inputed into the spread sheet to determine if they worked with the budget. The design was truly driven by the cost of materials to meet the budget. Value Engineering can be defined as an organized approach to providing the necessary functions at the lowest cost. **Q: Chandelier ?** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the brand of the chandelier please? A: Fantastic work, interior and photographer. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-11-11.*
