C. Wonder ~ SoHo NYC

Enjoyed a recent stop at C. Wonder in Soho.

What a fantastic place to explore! Notice I don't just shop; I explore.

 "Created to deliver brightness to every corner of life," so says their website.

C. Wonder brings you clothing, accessories and home decor.

 Lots of opportunities for monogramming, like these bags.

 Decorative plates, picture frames, and foo dogs.

 Crazy about their wallpaper!

 Ikat dinnerware.

(Aha - flashback! See my post on Ikat.)

  Chain link dinnerware. Golden rectangle & chevron glasses. Ginger jars.

Oh, the pillows! Crisp spring colors!

 Cheery initial mugs for everyone on my gift list!

 Fashion-forward! 

Super bright bikes & helmets! 

 Now, THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!

The Soho locale, their flagship store, is at 72 Spring Street at Crosby Street, New York, NY.

(Thanks, Collette, great tip!)

Pearl River Mart - SoHo NYC

When we visit SoHo, the Pearl River Mart is a must. Such a great place to explore!

Asian themed. Three stories of merchandise. The variety is unbelievable.

Join me as I stroll through, and you'll get some idea of the variety of items they sell.

Words and photos really don't do the place justice, though. So much to see!

Chopsticks.

Tea.

Firecracker decorations.

Pretty butterfly garlands.

Origami paper.

Home decor - shoji screens, lighting.

Colorful wood occasional tables, stools, trunks.

Sparkly embroidered satin slippers.

Gorgeous dresses.

Beautiful fabric.

Lovely paper parasols.

Pearl River Mart is located at 477 Broadway, NYC.

Here's their website.

Stop by if you're in the neighborhood!

You'll be in for a real treat!

MoMA Design Store – SoHo NYC

The MoMA Design Store was such an interesting place to investigate.

We visited the SoHo, NYC store.  MoMA stands for Museum of Modern Art. 

According to their website, they "exemplify good design with a well-edited selection of products 

highlighting the latest in materials, production, and design concepts from around the world."

I was immediately drawn to this River Stones Bowl.  It was designed in Italy exclusively for MoMA.
The goal was to suspend the tiny pebbles in clear acrylic, giving the impression of  the way you look through the water to see them in nature. There' s also a River Stones Platter. 

Such a fun interpretation of a vase! The Outline Vase is made of porcelain, designed in Japan. 

I think every home should have a touch of whimsy!

Speaking of fun...a colorful zipper purse, 

and the Keybag, designed in Portugal, which is composed of almost 400 plastic keyboard keys.

Here's the Distortion Candlestick. Isn't it kooky?

The 2 Carat Cup  would be a clever gift for that newly engaged young lady you may know!

That's a Swarovski crystal! It's available in either silver or gold. 

The cute Toast It Coasters are packaged like a loaf of bread!

Mid-century wall clocks! Each one designed by George Nelson.

Beginning at the top and going clockwise, (could I resist?):

Nelson Wall Clock, Sunburst Clock, and Eye Clock.

MoMA Design Store, SoHo

is located at 81 Spring Street, NYC.
