A trip to some of the latest and greatest in NYC design is just a short Town Car ride away. Abode New York: Bright and cheery modernism, from handmade industrial-felt bowls ($75) to inviting reclaimed-oak hooks ($20.50), is the order of business at this reasonably priced Williamsburg storefront.

Design Stores in Brooklyn. WILLIAMSBURG: Abode New York. If it is made by an up-and-coming Brooklyn designer (think Alex Gil Design, David Zachary, Domestic Aesthetic and White Bike Ceramics) and costs less than $75, it’s probably here.

Over the last years I have discovered many interior design shops in Brooklyn, one of them Abode New York. Today I visited again and I love their modern collection from furniture to rugs, lamps, dishes and much more.

The friendly owners are passionate and their sense of humor reflects in fun pieces.

Craftsmanship is a quality I appreciate in furniture making, their pieces are well made and mostly environmentally friendly. Go see!

Abode New York is also a laboratory to test out new products and to assemble objects together through form, color and function.  Abode New York provides a dynamic forum to showcase affordable and accessible lighting, furniture and home accessories by emerging and established artists and designers.

On November 26 2008, Abode New York Inc. joins international retailers Paul Smith and APC and opens its doors in this increasingly vibrant neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.  Abode New York, at the nexus of Grand and Bedford, provides unique and contemporary home furnishings for urban living that are well designed with environmental and socially conscious production values.
