Ms. Opstal
Ms Opstal is a design expression shaped by precision, sensitivity, and a deeply personal point of view. As part of Box Living, Ms Opstal offers a more intimate approach to space—where design is not only seen, but felt, experienced, and lived in.
Led by Dacia Opstal as the designer behind its signature, Ms Opstal speaks a quiet, refined design language rooted in proportion, materiality, and light. Each project is carefully composed to create spaces that feel timeless and personal, guided not by trends, but by enduring character and thoughtful intention.
At its core, Ms Opstal believes that meaningful design is a dialogue between people and space. Through a curated balance of form, texture, and atmosphere, every project becomes a unique narrative—reflecting the lifestyle, values, and individuality of those who inhabit it.
As part of the Box Living ecosystem, Ms Opstal strengthens a holistic design vision—where concept, function, and aesthetics are seamlessly connected. A signature approach that is considered, personal, and defined by craftsmanship and detail.
Dacia:
I grew up in a house where design was spoken fluently. One parent Indonesian, one American, both working in architecture and furniture design.
I was drawing before I could walk, and I never really stopped. Alongside my design practice, I continue to paint and draw. It is not separate from what I do. When I sit at the design table developing CAD drawings or constructing 3D renderings, I bring the same attention and vulnerability I would to a canvas.
I am currently completing my industrial design training at Central Saint Martins. My work is grounded in structure, usability, and the realities of production. Within my practice, function and beauty are not opposing forces. The practical and the emotional arrive together; each object is conceived as a vessel for meaning and connection.
