DESIGN PROJECTS

The Tubes @ Bell Works New Jersey

npz studio+’s design perspective can be defined as “retro-futuristic” connecting the past of the project to the future. In this collaboration with the iconic Ron Arad and Italian furniture brand, Moroso, Paola honored the Bauhaus soul of Bell Labs with these modern works of art. Viewed from above, the pattern is inspired by Bauhaus artist Anni Albers’ tile pattern work.

The roof of the ballroom at Bell Works was a blank slate waiting to be activated. Over the years, npz studio+ transformed a once vacant space into a tropical oasis in suburban New Jersey. Today, the Roof Deck at Bell Works is home Bar Bella, a rooftop bar with lush plants, striped umbrellas, colorful Acapulco chairs, live music, and lounge seating. npz studio+ created a destination within a destination.

The Square @ Bell Works Chicagoland

The Square is a place to gather in the heart of a 1.6m sq ft building, with a cozy and whimsical feel. The design inspiration behind the tile work connects the building with its Bell Works origin in Holmdel. New Jersey, where Josef Albers’ work, “Homage to the Square” can be found in the reception carpeting. Paola took color inspiration from Josef and Anni Albers “Latin American Road Trip” for the eye-catching Lapalma Kipu pieces.
