Creatures of the Wind Designers Moving to New York

We’ll be back and forth. But we’ve been sleeping at hotels and at Chris’s parents house and on friends' couches for four years, so now it’s time.” Gabier said they had been making lists of kitchen accessories and furniture to buy, but the duo has their decor priorities straight. “We have one really amazing Karl Springer goatskin coffee table that’s, like, seven feet long that we found in New Jersey for four hundred dollars,” said Gabier. “So everything is built around the coffee table.” Because, like most other new New Yorkers, they probably don’t have room for a proper table.
