This designer furniture shop recently opened its doors to the public in Hudson, New York City. The destination is the joint business venture of Karolina Dabo and Adrian Pollack – two seasoned experts in the furniture industry who decided to launch their own concept after 10 years of knowing each other.
The name of the designer furniture shop is ‘Gestalt’ – a playful nod to the psychologically adopted principle that “an organized whole […] is perceived as more than the sum of its parts.” Close in concept, the relation to Gestalt psychology extends thus far. The store, however, presents a thoughtfully curated collection, spotlighting pieces from brands like Grazia & Co, FeelGood Designs, Friends and Founders, Origin Made, and more. A particular emphasis is placed on designers from Denmark and Austria.
