Gachot Studios

What Gachot Studios does

Gachot Studios is a privately held, New York City–based interior design practice founded in 2012 by principals John and Christine Gachot, operating across residential, hospitality, and commercial design. The studio's core products are three service lines — Residential Design Services, Hospitality Design Services, and Commercial Design Services — covering apartments, townhouses, hotels, restaurants, retail flagships, and office lobbies. Marquee projects include the Shinola Hotel, Pendry Manhattan West, Eaton DC, San Morello, Izzy's Steaks and Chops, Betteridge Jewelers, Glossier's first flagship, One Manhattan West lobby, and Marc Jacobs' West Village Townhouse.

The studio extends its design IP into product via the Finot and Bond collections with Waterworks and the Artemest Collection by GACHOT, creating a small but recurring retail revenue stream alongside project fees. Technology consists of conventional interior-design workflows — no proprietary AI/ML systems, software platforms, or APIs are disclosed.

Gachot operates a professional-services revenue model: design and project-management fees plus procurement commissions on custom residential, hospitality, and commercial projects, with custom quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed rate card. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales to high-net-worth individuals, hospitality operators, and commercial developers through reputation, editorial credibility, and architectural-community referrals — no retail or self-serve channels. The firm is privately owned by the founders with no external investors or institutional funding rounds on record.
