Gabriel Cohen

The writer of our Macau Spotlight story on the recent redesign of Mizumi at Wynn Macau, Gabriel Cohen is the author of five novels and a nonfiction book. He has written articles and essays for The New York Times, the New York Post’s Page Six Magazine, Time Out New York, Gourmet.com, and other publications. For the Mizumi story, Cohen interviewed Roger Thomas, Executive Vice President of Design for Wynn Design and Development. Says Cohen, “Interviewing Roger Thomas is an easy assignment because his enthusiasm for interior design is so palpable and articulately expressed. It’s impressive to witness how that passion extends to every single element, whether walls or chairs or dinnerware, and how those choices are all guided by an overriding vision of the space. I also appreciate the alchemy of how so many rich historical and cultural influences are incorporated into—and transmuted through—the design.”
