We’re proud to share that Hendy has been named to Interior Design Magazine’s Rising Giants of Design list for 2026.

The Rising Giants of Design recognition celebrates emerging and fast-growing interior design firms making a measurable impact on the industry. Being included in this list (alongside some of the most forward-thinking firms in the country) reflects the work our team brings to every project, and the clients who trust us to deliver.

What the Rising Giants of Design Award Recognizes

Interior Design Magazine’s Rising Giants list is one of the most closely watched recognitions in the commercial interior design industry. It identifies emerging firms demonstrating exceptional design quality, growth, and impact across practice areas. For an award-winning interior design firm like Hendy, this recognition affirms what our team has been building toward since day one right here in Newport Beach.

The Work Behind the Recognition

At Hendy, we’ve always believed that great design is more than aesthetics. The spaces we create are strategic; built to reflect who our clients are, support how their people work, and evolve as their organizations grow. From corporate headquarters and workplace interiors to science and technology spaces, healthcare environments, and lifestyle communities, that belief shows up in every floor plan, every material selection, and every detail that most people will never consciously notice- but will always feel.

Our California-based studios operate across multiple practice areas, giving us the range to take on some of the most complex and rewarding commercial interior design projects in the country. The breadth of that work is at the pinnacle of what is recognized with this award — not a single project, but a body of work that reflects a consistent standard across every studio and every team for the last 45+ years.

A Highlight That Belongs to Everyone

This honor belongs to the designers, project managers, and studio leads across Hendy who show up every day committed to doing the work well — and to the clients and collaborators who make ambitious design possible. Earning a place on the Rising Giants of Design list for 2026 is something we’re incredibly proud of, and something we intend to keep earning.

We’re grateful to Interior Design Magazine for this recognition, and more energized than ever to keep designing spaces worth being in.
