Interior and Furniture Design

Irina Cepoi

My name is Irina Cepoi and I’m a passionate and driven interior designer with a deep love for creating spaces that inspire, connect, and tell a story. From a young age, I’ve been fascinated by the way design influences how we feel, move, and interact within a space. I’m especially drawn to concepts that push boundaries—whether it’s experimenting with unusual materials, exploring futuristic aesthetics, or finding new ways to blend form and function. I believe design should evoke emotion and spark curiosity, while still serving a clear purpose. I’m always looking to learn, grow, and challenge myself creatively, and I thrive in collaborative environments where ideas flow freely. My process is hands-on and research-driven, and I love turning abstract ideas into tangible, immersive experiences. Whether I’m sketching, modeling, or crafting a concept from scratch, I put my heart into every project. For me, design isn’t just a career—it’s a way of thinking and seeing the world.

OpenAi Headquarters

The OpenAI Headquarters project is set within One South County, a striking five-story building located in Leopardstown, Dublin. Known for its modern architecture and clean, expansive structure, the building provided the perfect canvas for a forward-thinking interior concept. With artificial intelligence rapidly transforming the way we live and work, I chose OpenAI as the theme to reflect the growing impact of technology on our future. To shape the visual identity of the headquarters, I drew inspiration from retrofuturism—a design style that imagines the future through the lens of the past. This influence guided every aspect of my project, from the bold color palette to the sleek, curved furniture and dynamic lighting. Retro-inspired forms and materials like chrome, acrylic, and vivid tones were used to create an immersive and optimistic atmosphere. The result is a space that balances nostalgic imagination with cutting-edge innovation—mirroring the spirit of AI and its potential to reshape the future.
