Kö-Bogen, or the `King’s Bow,’ is a LEED Platinum rated large-scale office and retail complex whose sinuous form hugs the point where the Königsallee Boulevard, Düsseldorf’s primary thoroughfare, converges with the newly created Hofgarten promenade. By artfully connecting the city’s central park and historic commercial center—and by expanding public space and inserting landscape elements—Studio Libeskind produced a mixed-use commercial complex that is a dynamic new attraction in the heart of Düsseldorf, Germany. The complex sits on two plots, comprised of two structures—one to the east, the other to the west—separated on the ground by a central pedestrian passageway and joined…

Located on the Dublin waterfront, the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, formerly the Grand Canal Theatre, is a 2,000-seat theater at the heart of a multi-use complex conceived for by the City of Dublin as part of a plan to revitalize its docklands.

Edge, the new desk designed by Daniel Libeskind was presented at the Salone del Mobile in 2019. It has a unique style and incisive design, composed of several juxtaposed irregular and asymmetrical volumes, that can be used on different sides. A thin yet solid metal skeleton, visible only from above connects its elements, made with eucalyptus wood and black glass surfaces. Everything in Edge is designed to leave the geometry…
