New Digs Toasting Yates Desygn's PAPERCITY PROMOTION T he fates aligned when Mike and Bryan Yates met at a party in 2011. The unexpected meet-cute in New York City set in motion what evolved into the Dallas design firm, Yates Desygn. Now partners in both business and life, the duo recently opened the doors of their new offices and showroom on Cole Street in the Dallas Design District. The guest list included fellow alumni of the 2021 Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas, where Yates Desygn created a subterranean living area inspired by Prohibition-era speakeasies. ln 2023, Yates Desygn launched its first wallcovering collection, Ever x Yates. As cocktails flowed, so did the guests, taking full advantage of the lovely spring evening.
