this is an amazing boutique to wander into, if only to windowshop and drool over the beautifully designed furniture and household pieces, for adults and children alike. i love the inspired room setups they have, the way every item is juxtaposed with something else complementary and beautiful, and the way every piece just begs to be taken home and used. the salespeople are a bit standoffish, but their demeanor somehow fits into the overall scope of the place.

this is a really cool furniture store right by the 59th st bridge. its all very contemporary and one plus is they tend to have alot of stuff in stock. alot of other places if you order something you have to wait the standard 12-16 weeks and it'll probably take longer. a bunch of items here are good to go. thats not the case for the more custom furniture but alot of it is worth the wait. prices are pretty expensive - prob worth waiting til their year end sale if you have flexiibility on timeing...

I went to one of these years ago in DC, but they say this one is not associated with that store years ago. They have a neat collection of designer home goods and knick knacks that are available in all the interior designer magazines. When I went in, they were selling wood stumps as stools. And they weren't giving them away. Prices run very high for some of the items, but smaller items are reasonable priced.

The Terrance Conran shop is a place not only for the rich among us. Yes, a chair can cost $1000 in this store, but you don't pay for looking. This place has some of the best designs I've ever seen.... More

The Terrance Conran shop is a place not only for the rich among us. Yes, a chair can cost $1000 in this store, but you don't pay for looking. This place has some of the best designs I've ever seen. From sophisticated toys to elaborated furniture. I would say that this is a taste of the real upscale New York and is an impressive landmark for New Yorkers and even tourists.

An import from England, the Terence Conran shop is located under the Queensboro bridge. It contains two levels of housewares and furniture and interesting gifts. My husband, whom I generally think has little interest in aesthetics and is extremely frugal (bordering on cheap), was almost lured into buying a $1500 minidesk. The aesthetic is clean, modern, dramatic. I have also found cool, inexpensive toys and other knick knacks that make for different stocking stuffers or birthday presents. Sometimes I wish I had had the foresight to have registered here for my wedding, but that wouldn't have been practical and I am generally nothing if not practical......
