Strategic fit-out partners Designflow Spielmann's have moved into new premises in Dublin.

The news comes after the two firms agreed a 50/50 merger late last year.

Designflow Managing Director Robert Trench said January had been a busy month, which culminated in the two firms signing a lease to take a 1,700 square foot office and showroom in Markland Holdings' new Fumbally Square development in Dublin 2.

A ten year lease was signed at €403 per square metre, considerably below the quoted rent of €430 per square metre, in a deal negotiated by DTZ Sherry Fitzgerald.

Mr Trench said: "Since the completion of the merger it has been none stop with a new office, new products and busy New Year.

"Fumbally Court is just the job, it is a beautiful old distillery that has been sympathetically refurbished with high quality office space within the original stonework and courtyard - just two minutes walk from St. Stephen's Green."
