From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mancini•Duffy is a New York-based architecture and interior design firm formed by the 1986 merger of Ralph Mancini Associates, Inc. (established in 1981) and Duffy Inc. (established in 1955). The firm provides a full range of interior planning, design, and architecture services as well as specialized services such as CAFM, strategic planning, and workplace strategy; graphics and signage; identity and brand development; and product design.
Mancini•Duffy is the operating name of Halsey, McCormack & Helmer, Inc. Architects. Formed in 1920, Halsey, McCormack & Helmer was noted for its prestigious banking projects, including the Williamsburgh Savings Bank in Brooklyn, New York; the firm was purchased by Duffy Inc. in 1967.
Recent high-profile projects include headquarters relocations for JPMorgan Chase, the CIT Group, and Condé Nast Publications; a headquarters build-out for Time Warner at Time Warner Center; and an ongoing renovation of Bloomingdale's flagship store in Manhattan. In 2007, the firm placed at #31 in Interior Design's 2006 Interior Design Giants survey[1] and #25 in their 2008 survey.[2]
A former tenant of Two World Trade Center, Mancini•Duffy's New York offices were destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks. Its New York office is currently located in Greenwich Village. The firm also maintains offices in Washington, DC, Mountain Lakes, NJ, and Stamford, CT.
