    Gohar World’s New York Store Is a Surrealist Banquet

    October 22, 2023 - By 

    Gohar World’s New York Store Is a Surrealist Banquet The tableware brand debuts a holiday pop-up that captures the grandiose magic of a festive dinner party. As in a Dutch still life painting of an enchanting tablescape, there is an element of decay tucked into the elegant New York home goods store Gohar World. A holiday pop-up opened by artists (and sisters) Laila and Nadia Gohar to showcase the duo’s playful tableware brand, the Lafayette Street shop is wallpapered with grainy images of an abandoned, time-worn church in Arles, France. In several areas, portions of this floor-to-ceiling print peel back…

    I love that every Aesop store is different, each one uniquely designed to offer a sensorial store experience that goes beyond just the product. You walk into an Aesop store and you always come out a bit calmer, your shoulders a bit lower, your breath a bit slower. The latest Aesop store is their new outpost in Marylebone, London. They’ve moved from a small shop designed by Studio KO at the top of the high street to a more prominent and larger double fronted store further down towards Oxford Street.

    She Opened a Bookshop in Brooklyn, Then Moved In Above the Store

    July 21, 2023 - By 

    For Simona Blat, the plan was to move to Europe and open a bookshop. It was early 2021, a global pandemic was still raging, and Williamsburg, her Brooklyn neighborhood of 12 years, felt like it was emptying out. Like a lot of New Yorkers during the pandemic, Ms. Blat was unemployed and seeking clarity on a hazy future. “I was going on these daily walks during the pandemic,” she said, “just to stay sane.” On one of the walks, she noticed a vintage clothing shop on Driggs Avenue had closed. The “For Rent” sign at the entrance somehow caught her…
