Design Hunting Has Moved...

Design editor Wendy Goodman takes you inside the city’s most exciting homes and design studios. [Design Hunting]( WENDY GOODMAN TAKES YOU INSIDE THE CITY’S MOST EXCITING HOMES AND DESIGN STUDIOS Change of Address Design Hunting has moved to Curbed, which is now a part of New York Magazine (and why that is a great thing).   Wendy Goodman’s first design story for New York from 1989.    Photo: Maya Robinson/New York Magazine   The very first design story I ever did for the magazine was in 1989, while still a fashion editor. It had taken me a year to muster up the nerve to ask New York Magazine’s then-editor-in-chief, Ed Kosner, if I could do a story that wasn’t a fashion feature. I had always been intrigued by the little carriage house opposite Cartier on East 52nd Street that housed the restaurant La Grenouille, having enjoyed many luncheons there as the guest of various fashion designers. But, I always wondered, what was the story of this building? This is the essence of Design Hunting: a very polite snoopiness. After all, you have to be invited into someone’s sanctum. The story of the artist Bernard Lamotte — who I was to discover had at one time lived upstairs — and the story behind this little building changed my life and career forever: I went on to work for other magazines — including House & Garden, twice, but always returned home to New York Magazine. And now, Design Hunting has a new digital address (don’t worry, I will still appear in print in New York Magazine!): Curbed, the fabulous website that for 16 years has been devoted to all things cities, especially New York City. It’s now joined the New York Magazine family — [here is more on that]( — where it will live alongside Design Hunting’s previous online home, the Cut (as well as Vulture, Intelligencer, Strategist, and Grub Street). We’re moving to the new Curbed for all the usual reasons one moves to a new home: so we can have more room to spread out and do more design coverage of all kinds — more homes, more designers — and of course, we’ll have interesting new neighbors. (And, as part of the change, you’ll be getting this email on Mondays from now on.) Come visit, and stay a while. Meanwhile, if you click [here](, we’ve collected a library some of my favorite stories from the past for you to peruse.
