Located at 36‑20 Main Street, Duo’s interior emphasizes spatial adaptability and visual intrigue. Design Next Agency leveraged the café’s 30‑foot ceilings as a creative asset, installing a custom floating glass dragon sculpture with color‑changing LED lighting that shifts the ambience from serene daylight warmth to a vibrant nighttime tone. This dramatic installation sets the emotional tone for the space while engaging a young, social‑media‑savvy audience.
