# Psychology-Inspired Designer Furniture Shops Gestalt is a New Retail Space in Hudson, NYC By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-10-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-furniture-shop References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2019/09/22/gestalt-furniture-store-hudson-new-york/) & [gestaltnewyork](https://www.gestaltnewyork.com/about) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-home), spotlighting pieces from brands like [Grazia & Co](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midcentury-australian-seating), FeelGood Designs, Friends and Founders, Origin Made, and more. A particular emphasis is placed on designers from Denmark and Austria.
