The Future Perfect (CLOSED)

If your idea of decorating involves macramé and lava lamps, head to this gallery-cum-home store for a lesson in smart home decor. David Alhadeff’s stylish shop, which opened in 2003 and has since spawned several satellite stores and offshoots, features an array of designers like Seletti and Triboro Design, many of whom are local to New York City. The unifying theme here is playfulness, whether you’re mulling a set of graffiti-emblazoned delft plates or a wall clock made of paper that just happens to be printed with the image of a grandfather clock.
