Following his cooperation with Neil Burley (1988) and Marc Newson (1988 to 1990) he eventually opened up his own studio, Venlet Interior Architecture, in 1991. His design projects range from private mansions, lofts, bars and restaurants all the way to showrooms and offices of large companies such as Timberland or Siemens. Time and again, Danny Venlet can be found with his works at trade shows and exhibitions, such as the Milano Furniture Fair, the Hannover Messe, in the Museum voor Kunst en Geschiedenis in Brussels, or at the State of Design Festival, Design from Flanders, in Melbourne. Venlet received recognition and awards at various design contests - such as the Henri van de Velde Prijs in Belgium 2003. In the past, Venlet passed on his experience as interior architect to students at several schools and universities in Belgium and Australia, such as the University of Sydney, the Royal Australian Institute of Architects in Sydney as well as the St. Lucas Institute of Architecture, Gent and Brussels.
