Profiles
New York Design Center, 200 Lexington Ave., Murray Hill
Located in the NYDC, this showroom is many a high-end interior designer's secret source for exquisite and unique vintage-inspired furniture and upholstery. Their blackbook of craftsmen is impressive, as is their catalog of completely customizable pieces.
Stephanie Odegard
The New York Design Center, 200 Lexington Ave., Murray Hill
The hand-knotted carpets at Odegard come in a wide range of designs from classic to modern, all made using green, sustainably-sourced materials. In addition to their contemporary designs, they're also a great source for vintage flat-weave khelims and dhurries that are made with artisans from around the globe. She has an outlet space in Long Island City, too.
New York Design Center
200 Lexington Ave., Murray Hill
The NYDC is "to the trade" so be sure to go with an interior designer or decorator. With showrooms for most design brands worth their mettle, from McGuire, to Odegard to Profiles, and more, it's an incredibly impressive resource for decoration inspiration (and shopping). They offer many services, including an Access to Design program where they'll hook you up with the right designer.
McGuire
200 Lexington Ave., Murray Hill
Manufacturing designs by the likes of Barbara Barry, Jacques Garcia, and Bill Sofield, McGuire is one of our go-to sources for outfitting a home, both indoors and out. We especially love their Barrel Lounge chairs, which are as sophisticated in a living room as they are in the garden.
Dover Street Market
160 Lexington Ave., Murray Hill
Spanning seven narrow stories in Murray Hill (yes, Murray Hill), Dover Street Market is like a fair funhouse for fashion: Every nook, cranny, and balcony is lined with some of the most inspiring shopping set dressing in New York City. You’d expect nothing less from Rei Kawakubo, the founder of Comme des Garçons, who has an eye for the most cutting-edge labels around. Like its counterparts in London and Tokyo, DSM boasts a Rose Bakery, making this the sort of place where you can literally spend five hours.
