Classic and reworked furniture, blown glass pieces and design books from this shop are just a few ways to ignite a home with modern sensibility.

Owners Steven Saden and Elizabeth Cashour focus on hip items, describing their store's stock as a "modernist mix of gifts and home accessories." They sell sophisti-funky barware that's more Rat Pack than Pottery Barn, as well as an array of adult toys—no, not that kind!—including chess boards. Shoppers can find architecture books, Knock Knock stationery, John Scott handmade pottery, and custom jewelry that make perfect gifts for your impossibly cool friend with a bent for modern design. The store even carries clever gifts for offspring.
