Editorial Review for The Terence Conran Shop – by Rebecca Braverman
The Scene
When the news that Sir Terence Conran was going stateside hit New York, designistas started hyperventilating. Finally, Conran's well-edited selection of cool stuff would be available, here in the comfort of our own country! We too could have the bath mats shown in British Elle Decor!
The Goods
Browse the fantastic selection of (get this) wastebaskets and sigh over the packaging for Philippe Starck's line of organic food products. Why keep an ugly bottle opener when you can have one that just feels better? Why keep your pasta in its package when it can be decanted into a pretty, mod canister? Why buy another heinous CD tower if there's something that does the job much better--and more beautifully? Why not brush your teeth with a sparkly disco ball of a toothbrush? Why not indeed!

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoThe store, in the shadow of the 59th Street Bridge, looks something like a misshapen glass ice cube, shimmering in the sun.

My wife and I love this store and shop there as much as we can afford to. If you're home has a modern flair to it, you need to know Conran. Great products for everything from your living room sofa to your kitchen spice-rack.
Pros: They have nice things.
Cons: A bit on the pricey side.

the store in general is quite exquisite, lots of great product, but the staff needs a bit of reworking here... i've been here a number of times, and the staff is either engaged in conversations amongst themselves or they just don't make eye contact with you. if you can get over this, the product is great, lots of style!
Cons: no parking
