Top-of-the-Line Furniture & Props, Available In-House at Daylight Studio
Production-Ready Styling for Celebrity Interviews, Photoshoots, Brand Takeovers & More
For Celebrity Interviews, Photoshoots, Overnights, and Brand Takeovers
When you’re locking down a celebrity interview, an editorial spread, or a massive brand activation in Manhattan, the furniture isn't just background noise, it sets the entire vibe. But if you’ve ever had a rental truck get stuck in Midtown traffic or spent hours chasing down a vendor COI, you know that sourcing furniture in this city can be a massive headache.
That’s why we keep a heavy, production-ready stash of in-house props right here at Daylight. We’re talking about everything your art department needs to build a world from scratch: Seating, customizable Walls & Floors, Tables, Event Furniture, Mirrors, architectural Plants, and clean Décor. Whether you need a historic designer piece to anchor a fashion portrait or sleek layout pieces to fill a VIP lounge, it’s all waiting for you on-stage.
Even better? You can bundle your styling needs with our in-house EQ rentals. Sourcing your lighting, grip, camera packages, and props all under one roof means fewer manifests to track, fewer delivery fees, and way less logistics drama on your call sheet.
One-of-a-Kind Pieces from Iconic Designers
Let’s be real: some furniture just takes up floor space. Other pieces completely command the frame.
Our vault isn't filled with generic replicas. We house genuine, statement-making pieces from legendary names like George Nelson, Le Corbusier, Vladimir Kagan, Philippe Starck, Eero Saarinen, Gio Ponti, and Isamu Noguchi, alongside heavy-hitter brands like Herman Miller, Knoll, Kartell, and Roche Bobois.
Need exact examples? Your stylists can pull:
The iconic Nelson Marshmallow Sofa
The classic Le Corbusier LC4 Chaise Longue
The striking Vladimir Kagan Zoe Sofa
Clean Philippe Starck Charles Ghost Stools
Drop these into a high-fashion editorial, and they instantly become part of the composition. Put an A-lister on them for an interview, and you’ve got an elevated, professional backdrop that lets your subject pop without looking like a stiff corporate set.
Why NYC Producers Book Studios with In-House Props
If you're running a tight campaign shoot or a high-profile commercial, having premium furniture already sitting on the stage is an absolute lifesaver for your budget and your timeline.
Kill the Logistics: Stop wasting pre-production hours coordination drops and pickups from three different rental houses. Your creative team can walk in and build the set using what’s already on-site.
Flawless Camera Presence: For celebrity sit-downs, the right chair creates a polished, high-end atmosphere that feels completely natural on a 4K sensor. For branded content, it builds the entire aesthetic of the campaign instantly.
On-the-Fly Flexibility: We’ve all been there, the talent arrives, the lighting changes, or the creative director decides to pivot the mood mid-day. Having props on hand means your stylist can swap a chair or restyle a corner in five minutes flat without waiting on a courier truck to battle the Lincoln Tunnel.
One Less Outside Vendor: In-House Lighting & Grip
Furniture is just one half of the battle. Having a bulletproof EQ setup waiting next to the cyc is what actually saves your shoot day.
Daylight offers full in-house lighting, grip, and camera equipment rentals. If you are locking down a specific multi-cam interview setup, a complex commercial lighting grid, or an intricate video package, you can lean on our internal inventory.
Fewer outside vendors means fewer load-in delays, fewer surprise missing pieces, and a much tighter, more efficient set so your creative team can actually focus on getting the shot.
Tailored for Photo, Film, & Heavy Campaigns
The right setup completely redefines a frame. A classic designer couch turns a raw studio into an elite Manhattan residence. A sharp, structural chair anchors a tight beauty portrait. A mid-century table establishes a relatable lifestyle scene for a major brand campaign.
Our collection is carefully curated to bridge the gap between contemporary edge, timeless classics, and bold statement pieces. And because a set needs more than just a place to sit, we round it out with high-end mirrors, architectural greenery, and flexible staging elements to make the space look completely custom.
From Editorial Runways to Experiential Pop-Ups
Our props don't just live in front of a camera. If you're taking over the space for a New York Fashion Week presentation, a product launch, a networking night, or a VIP experience, our furniture transitions seamlessly into event design.
Create high-end lounges, dedicated press walls, intimate conversation pockets, and premium green rooms that keep your guests comfortable while keeping your branding immaculate.
Zero Afterthoughts. Built Around the Way Crews Actually Work.
We didn't just throw some furniture in a closet and call it a prop department. Daylight’s collection is specifically curated for the fast-paced reality of modern production. We give line producers, art directors, agencies, and photographers a premium toolbox to pull from the second they book.
When you pair elite styling pieces with on-site EQ and a seasoned house crew, you get the ultimate creative flexibility.
20,000 Square Feet in the Heart of Manhattan
Space is the ultimate luxury in NYC. Across our two massive, highly accessible Manhattan locations, we give you the footprint to scale any project:
Hudson Yards: 13,000 sq. ft. of flexible, high-production space.
Flatiron: 7,000 sq. ft. of prime, beautifully lit studio real estate.
Whether you're mapping out an intimate 1-on-1 celebrity interview, a fast-moving fashion campaign, or a massive experiential brand takeover, Daylight gives you way more than just four walls and a cyclorama. You get the space, the props, the tech, and the crew to wrap on time and on budget.
