"When Kiki Goti and Vincent Staropoli moved into their 1,000-square-foot ­rental in Clinton Hill three years ago, they didn't anticipate they would also end up working there. Goti taught design at Pratt Institute and Parsons New School and maintained a studio in Bushwick, where she made lights, objects, and custom home furnishings. Staropoli, a French director and editor of short films and commercials at the time, would sometimes conduct business from her studio."
"Their first joint effort was the loft, and they reorganized it to double as a co-working area. The dining table moved over to the living room and was replaced by his-and-hers desks. That's where she assembles pieces and he caters to their growing design commissions; filmwork has taken a back seat, though Goti still teaches. To their surprise, they have found they rarely disagree about aesthetic choices, but Goti acknowledges some of their ideas can be "crazy.""
Kiki Goti and Vincent Staropoli moved into a 1,000-square-foot rental in Clinton Hill and converted it into a combined living and working space. Goti taught design and previously maintained a Bushwick studio where she made lights, objects, and custom furnishings, while Staropoli worked as a French director and editor. After a year they reorganized the loft into a co-working area with his-and-hers desks; Goti assembles pieces there and Staropoli manages design commissions. Filmwork decreased as interior work grew. Goti favors maximalist color, which led to vivid blue and yellow-striped walls and an intense green living room that required repainting.
