At DfHN, we create with empathy, curiosity, and openness.
Work Culture
Empathy & Humanity
at the Center
For us, every project begins with the question: “How should it feel in the end?”
The focus is on people – this results in designs that not only work effectively but also resonate emotionally and create lasting impressions.
Collaborative Working
We develop ideas together—with clients, partners, and users.
Open workshops, research, and prototypes bring together a wide range of perspectives, making our solutions relevant and effective.
Empathy & Humanity
at the Center
For us, design also means storytelling.
We translate feelings and values into visual, tactile, and spatial experiences – creating identity, guidance, and genuine added value.
Sustainability
& Impact
Responsibility is part of our design approach. We consciously consider resources and create concepts that make sense and leave a positive impact throughout their entire lifecycle.

Inspiring Work Environment
Our studio is a vibrant space for creativity – whether in the ateliers, the workshop, our prototyping hall, or on the ponton on the Elbe.
We create environments that promote collaboration and interaction.

Team Dynamics
Working
as Equals
Instead of status-consciousness, we focus on flat hierarchies. Responsibility is shared, and decisions are made together—initiative and participation are key here.
Curiosity
as a Driver
Diverse backgrounds and disciplines come together through a shared joy for exploration. Curiosity, experimentation, and creativity form the foundation of our teamwork.
Creative
Collaboration
Ideas arise through our collaboration: at the large table, in the workshop, during spontaneous brainstorming sessions, or even at the coffee machine. Every impulse contributes to our shared creativity.
Open
Work Culture
Our studio is more than just a workplace – it is a shared living space.
Working, learning, and inspiring come together here, openness defines our interactions.
Community
in Everyday Life
For us, team culture means actively working together: cooking together, having lunch at our large table, going on trips, and celebrating strengthen our team spirit.
