Editorial Review for Arkitektura – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
An unmarked door and partially obscured buzzer must be located before climbing the steep flight of stairs to this apartment aerie--an actual dwelling that's been decorated with Arkitektura's high-end home furnishings from the 1930s. The chic purveyor sells mostly to trade insiders, but informed shoppers from the general public are more than welcome, too.
The Goods
Collectors will thrill to the store's impeccable selection, including Arkitektura exclusives like Michael Graves' Kyoto line, a large selection of Lutyens chairs, Eliel Saarinen reproductions, and Eero Saarinen pieces designed when he was just 17. The apartment-to-store transformation is so complete the old icebox fridge in the corner could be mistaken for part of the merchandise, but helpful staff will guide patrons toward quiet alcoves where post-deco credenzas, consoles and modern treasures lie.
