Interior designer Sheena Murphy used plywood, blackened steel and felt to create the Scandinavian-influenced office for Dots, the New York company behind popular design-led games Two Dots and Dots & Co.
"Traditional American office meets Scandinavian home" was the look Murphy wanted to create for the games studio, which counts architect Bjarke Ingels and Dezeen editor Amy Frearson among its 100 million global players.

To achieve this, the interior designer ? who runs a studio called Sheep and Stone ? employed a simple palette of materials, avoiding bright colours or bold patterns.
"We focused on simple, neutral and desaturated tones and materials, playing with scale and shape to achieve this feeling," she told Dezeen.
The office is located in a neo-classical building overlooking the Hudson River, in a 8,500-square-foot (790 square metres) space renovated by Woodfin Architecture + Design. South-facing windows ensure the interior receives plenty of natural light.

The layout of the office is defined by a pair of meeting rooms, as well as series of more informal booths containing various types of seating.

Murphy chose to line all of these space with felt. Not only does this improves acoustics, it provides staff with walls that double as pin boards for showcasing ideas.

Black-toned steel wraps the base of each block, while plywood slats create horizontal stripes across the exteriors, creating subtle references with woodland cabins.
