The DDB is home to over 100 luxury showrooms and offers an unparalleled line-up of residential and commercial products.
Always at the forefront of its industry, the DDB provides its visitors — which include some of the
biggest names in interior design and architecture — with unique experiences including informative yet entertaining seminars, professional programs, networking opportunities, exclusive design services and more.
Heritage
Renowned as the region’s time - honored luxury resource, D&D has long delivered a critical depth and breath of offerings crucial to every aspect of the design process. This distinction ensures the industry’s top professionals consistently make D&D their go - to choice for selection, service, innovation and inspiration.
For over 50 years (since 1968), the D&D Building has been a mecca in New York for professional designers and architects of residential, contract, commercial, and hospitality design.
Every weekday, an average of 2000 professional designers and architects have made the D&D
their “home” away from home; or at least their second workplace.
According to designer Albert Hadley, it is “the center of all our lives.”
Design Clientele
To make arrangements for your clients to visit the D&D Building without you:
- Write a letter addressed to the D&D Building with your client’s name, address and telephone number on your company letterhead.
- Specify the showroom(s) you wish them to visit, a contact person and the terms and service you would like the showroom(s) to provide, i.e., memo samples, tear sheets, prices, etc.
- Specify the day your clients are to visit the D&D Building. If repeat showroom visits are to be made, indicate those dates in the letter. This letter must be signed by the design professional working with the client.
Not all showrooms will allow visits by unaccompanied clients, so please check with the showroom in advance.
Advise your clients they will be required to show a letter of introduction to every showroom they visit in the building.
