MoMA Design Store

By fluke I came across the Design Store. What a great experience. My wallet took a little bit of a beating as I bought a few special gifts for myself. Everything is fun, clever, colourful and beautifully designed. Some pieces are iconic and others mainstream. Loved the Andy Warhol collection. A must visit while in New York. Notes: not wheelchair accessible. Kid friendly. Staff are exceptional. Parking is challenging on the street.

A must see for tourists and even locals! It is a perfect spot for unique housewarming presents and gifts for kids and adults. Such a fun, colorful, 2 floor design store, for window shopping, along with MOMA exclusive 'omg this is SO cute' fun, colorful housewares and gadgets. We spend a long time just playing and tinkering with everything. Love this store, even more than the one at the museum. Member discounts still apply here! Expect tourist museum priced items. Have fun!!

Love the store! So many cool unique items

Super clean place. Ideally stepped in to break from crowds for a bit, but ended up seeing really cool pieces of furniture and art to be able to still take home if you’re a tourist!

I'm appreciated the staff helping my friend and I to get the item we wanted. However, my personal opinion, some of the items here are overpriced. I know it is an innovation and arts piece but for me it is overpriced anyway. I took my friend here because she wanted to buy stuff for her future parent in law but if you have more time I think you can fine gift better than spend extra on brand.

Has a great selection of products online. Huge variety from furniture to playing cards. The cost also varies from $ to $$$$. Has super practical items like drying racks for pots and pans to replicas of sculptural furniture. Something is always on sale or something new added to the inventory. Great place to buy unique gifts too. Bought some HAY baskets on sale.

Absurdly awesome gift shop, loved everything here and a great place to take your family. We picked up more than a few things but I think you would have just a good time browsing, such unique and fun offerings on display here. Loved that it was literally across the street from our hotel on a quieter corner in Soho.

I loved this store. There were actually so many cool things that I would buy. And the prices weren't out of control. It's the perfect store to buy a unique gift for someone (or yourself). I bought some cute colorful kitchenware

You will find some innovative items in here. Many of the known modern artists can be seen on tote bags, magnets, posters, books and more. Wacky jewelry socks and clothing, items for the home and everyday use. There are two floors with an elevator or stairs.

Do you want to avoid spending money on some of the coolest gadgets and practical office tools and kitchenware that you'll ever find? Then don't come here...because every time I do...I make a purchase. Staff is cool and helpful, and it's just a fun place to browse!

The MoMA Design Store carries a selection for the office, the home, has books, accessories, featured prints and items from artists, seasonal items, and collectibles from current exhibits. We stopped by to peruse while in the area, and it's one of those places that just feel too chaotic - it's always busy in here and jampacked with people. The selection of items are kind of in a disarray and unorganized, and you really can't check out things in peace. I guess it's one of those stores where you can purchase random gifts, but, honestly, I feel that they'd soon become seasoned or outdated after a while and wouldn't have that longevity you'd expect from purchasing with the price tags seen here. We didn't see any SAs while we were there, so you're pretty much on your own in terms of figuring it out. +super chaotic +disorganized +unavailable staff

The MoMA Design Store is such a fun place to stop while exploring SoHo. Feeling Groovy? Love the fun Pop Art pop up which celebrates the colorful designs of the 60's. From the colorful Vignelli Hellerware stacking cups, plates and bowls in rainbow colors to stacking chairs, the display is so much fun and just makes you happy. Check out the Andy Warhol Campbell Soup Surfboards. The Jean-Michel Basquiat Surfboards celebrate his unique designs. Or pick up a fun tic-tac-toe coffee table game. Need a gift for a budding artist? Check out the books for the littlest art lovers. They have titles like "When Pigasso Met Mootisse," "Good Night New York City," or "In The Garden With Van Gogh." In 1932, MoMA established the world's first curatorial department dedicated to architecture and design. Today, purchases from the museum store help provide educational programming to both those living in one of the five New York City's boroughs and globally. Perfect for a quick stop in SoHo.

Super unfriendly staff! I usually shop here for gifts but today I had a horrible customer service experience! I already knew what I wanted before walking in so I walked to the wall where the item was placed last week. I noticed it was sectioned off and all the items were pulled on a trolley. The items were not pulled behind the sectioned off area so anyone would assume that these items are still available. I picked up the espresso maker box and opened it to see what it looked like again just to be sure since there's no display. A black male associate came over and told me "those items are not for sale" and tries to close the box. I stepped back and said "I saw these last week and I wanted to purchase it. Could I look at them?". He just made an annoyed face and walked away without saying anything. Then I was so off put by this that I decided to just purchase this because I've looked at it already. So I go to the register to ask the white younger cashier woman if I could get a gift receipt and check to see if any of the glassware are chipped. She tells me sure and opens the box and says she's sure they're fine since it's packaged nicely. So I asked her if we could just double check since I saw some reviews on the moma website saying their product was chipped. But she just gives me a blank stare so I offered to check the product and she doesn't say anything while just watches me check it, instead of checking it with me. I paid and then she gives me the bag and slides it to me and says "have a nice day" but she forgot to give me the receipt since it seems she just wanted to get rid of me. I remind her and she hands me a receipt that has pink stripes on the side which means the receipt paper roll is running out. Then I look at it and remind her again, I need a gift receipt. Then she gives me the gift receipt with the pink stripes too. This isn't presentable as a gift receipt but I was so upset with that experience that I just walked out and I'm so unhappy with how they treated me that I might just return it. Visit - 5/21/24 - 12:31PM It seems like the staff were just all having a really bad day or they just didn't want to help me at all.

Wonderful to shop here. Artsy, unique gifts and friendly staff. I feel there's something here for everyone on your list.

Cute store with eclectic toys and fun gifts for kids and adults. No museum here. It's just a gift store. No place to sit or public restrooms if you're waiting for someone while they're shopping!

The products are wonderful here and I come very often to get gifts for friends. However, today I had a terrible experience with customer service where the man in the round table was extremely disrespectful and uninterested on helping me. To give more light to the scenario: i purchased two of the same products and asked to get gift wrapped separately (which is $5 each) and the man obviously did not want to do that. When he completed the gift wrapping he gave us one bag for two of the same gift which were for 2 different people. We asked for another bag and he sighed and angrily threw a bag at us. He then turned around and continued doing something else. I honestly have never experienced something like this and was pretty shocked to see such low standard for customer service at such an highly upheld establishment.

I love all the products at the MoMA Design Store.....I recently ordered an authentic colorful Italian Espresso Pot! Absolutely modern in the lines and colors, yet functional-goes right on top of the stove! I have ordered many times from this store especially Holiday and other Cards, as well as home products such as vases, butter knife, etc. Small but functional and artistic-yet MODERN!

Very difficult not to spend money here. Walking through the store I had urges to buy bath towels, a few turntables, a book of paintings by Bob Dylan, and various beautifully designed coffee pots. And you can have your items purchased sent to your home. Perfect Soho shopping experience.

This place is part of my walking tour for relatives. I always love coming here. This store offers a lot of different items. Some of the items are really interesting and unique but are somewhat ridiculously over priced in my opinion. I have gone into this store and bought a key chain and some other small random items which is in my budget :-) and my 11 year old nephew makes me laugh every time we come here. He picks out some random toy like a Yoshimoto cube and asks me if I would buy it for him. We both look at each other and giggle because he knows he's not getting it. This place does offer unique items that can make great gifts if price is not an object. This is definitely a great store to stop into and check out because they do have some items that I have not seen in any other store which I think is really nice.

Me and friend came in here while waiting for our table at a local restaurant. They have nice stuff. But the security guard was watching us while we were looking at some books. I felt it was racial motivated. Another shopping while black incident. This security greeted to white customers as they entered but said nothing to us when we entered. As we left the store I noticed she was still watching. I will not be back here ever again. Very racist security.

I have to confess that sometimes (read: a lot times) gift store is my favorite part of a museum. Kudos to MOMA for this exclusive Design Shop! I love everything in the store - super fun and creative! Admittedly some of the items can be pricey, but when they're on sale, it's actually great price for the quality of goods!

Two floors full of all the beautiful, useless, knick knacks you didn't know you needed. There are clocks, train sets, water bottles, leather goods, ceramics, and everything else you could dream of. It's a great place to shop for yourself or for a gift. I got a modern art inspired leather passport holder for $20, which I thought was very reasonable.

All the fun knick knacks and accessories in the a regular MoMA store - or a lot of cool museum stores in general - are packed in this one, very busy location. The store is set-up nicely to handle the crowds, but it will inevitably be crowded since people want to touch and try all the fun things. It's like a mini museum in and of itself. Most of the items here are on the pricier side of life, though I suppose in theory you're paying for a supremely designed product if you're getting it at a store like this. Some of the most fun things to look at are kitchenware and accessories, some shawls/clothing in the back, and neat clocks to the back and right side of the store. If you're looking for a tasteful, unique gift and can spend a little bit of dough, this store definitely has a neat selection.

One of the best places to go gift-shopping, especially for those hard to please friends! The MoMa Design Store in SoHo is always bustling, but the staff are patient and will help you find everything you're looking for.

I'm a big MoMa store customer. I buy furnitures, gifts and home decorations from here online or the other store in the city. Today I had a bad experience here. Honestly, the guy at the door checking temperature is so unfriendly and impatient that you would just lose interest in buying things in the store. He stares at you when you walk in and yells at you if you didn't see the exit sign promptly. Come on dude, really? I'm not your enemy and I didn't commit a crime ok? He turns around laughing and joking with his colleague. Funny thing is he doesn't do that to everyone seemingly. I hate to assume it but I have an instinct that he's probably ok with doing it because I'm Asian.

Update 8 years later: I love the MoMa store. If anybody knows of a better museum store, please let me know. Their buyers have been doing a great job and in the last 2 years or so, it's gotten much better with curating low and mid end priced and obscure items. - I think it's hard not to find a gift for any person unless they HATE design/functionality. - You can find obscure stuff from e.g. Japan that you'd have no idea existed otherwise unless you lived in Japan. I wanted some Paola Navone stuff from Merci in Paris and was happy to find it here. - Exclusive Baggu bag. - Miffy! Bao Bao Issey Miyake! - They carry some items from Muji and Uniqlo. If it's sold out there, or past season, they might have it here. - They have been doing an exclusive collection with HAY. I shop online most of the time on the monthly corporate discount day, but around Thanksgiving/Christmas shopping season, the deals are the best. Every item is eligible for member pricing. If it's worth it, sign up for membership, if your company isn't a member. My friend wanted a clock. They were sold out in the store. I checked online later and it was 30% off. Surprised the staff didn't check for them. Online customer service: once an order was shipped to the billing instead of the shipping address. CS was no help and we had to drive to the billing address. Of all the times I've shopped here, that was the only time I had an issue.

Always have lovely and amazing items. Cool and well designed bags and clothing or other accessories that are good quality. Interesting toys or games. Adorable sculptures or skateboards. Some will be there most of the time but some are very temporary so once it's sold out, it's done. A bit pricey sometimes but it's supporting art and the museum. Across the street, in the museum on the 2nd floor is a cafe which have a bookstore beside it. Some toys, games, fun and cool gadgets, quite a few different options for books, and more. On the to floor of MOMA is another nice little shop that sells a few books, toys, and other items. Decent staff and service

MoMa stores became unfriendly, even aggressive. Never met such attitude in other locations. Maybe they got to much $pon$orship$ and don't need my business ??

TOP FLOOR: I just can't seem to find space or place for these largely useless, lightly styled items. IDK, but nothing here feels very special or interesting, certainly not enough to take home. It's kind of just like average house/lifestyles wares with a LITE postmodern twist....but also for like $200 lol. If you're gonna go modern, GO MODERN. Make something intriguing. Make something that speaks for itself. This stuff feels like IKEA meets MOMA. The security guard is very nice though! BOTTOM FLOOR: The bottom floor is certainly far more interesting than the top floor. They do have prints and New Yorker magazine covers, which are nice in terms of home decor. Here, you can also find more household items, and some furnishings...again, with the same postmodern LITE twist. Eh. Nothing had enough flair, or enough appeal in general to be worth buying IMO, on the three occasions I've come here. I'll pass.

An interesting selection of items that are best suited as gifts. The prices are generally reasonable considering it's NYC. I didn't see anything really worth buying here, but it is nice to see art showcased in a variety of fun and interesting products. I would probably reiterate that this is a great place for gifts. If you're looking to bring something back from NYC for a friend or family member, this might be the place to go.

OMG, I had the best time exploring this store which is located directly across the street from Balthazar. I ended up buying a lot of Haring and Warhol goodies here along with a couple of unique coffee table books. If you like cute, creative, and innovative things, you are sure to find many unique and one-of-a-kind gifts and do-dads here. I wish they offered everything they carry at the store to buy online, but of course, they don't. Why can't L.A. have a MoMA store?!

This rating is not for the store. Associates are friendly always have been. When you visit the store you have to meander, you have to wander and take in all the fabulous items. I love to take a break and look and I usually end up purchasing something.....every time. Anyway this one star is the Security guard that spoiled my visit by following me around. Tons of other visitors there but every time I turn around he's right there. Even followed me downstairs. I was tempted to say something but I didn't. If it happens again maybe I will.....

I got a nice doormat, it's a cool place and the prices are surprisingly good for MoMA themed merchandise. Nice retail space.

Sub par customer service. Went in here to buy a Christmas gift and decided to avail of the gift wrapping service for an additional 5 dollars. A shop assistant took the gift from me to wrap it down the back of the store. About 10 minutes later he hands it to me in a bag with the ribbon facing downwards. Thankfully I took it out to inspect his wrapping and saw that the gift wrapping was completely ripped all along the top and he had made a sorry attempt at sticking it back together with some tape. He had clearly tried to hide this from me by putting it in the bag the way he did. I politely showed him the rip, saying it was unpresentable and asked him if he could re-wrap it for me. He told me he didn't notice the rip which was clearly untrue as he had sealed it with the tape. He begrudgingly took the gift back and when he eventually returned a full 25 minutes later the gift still looked unbelievably average. Might I add that the gift I purchased was in a box so not a difficult shape to wrap by any means. You'd think that after waiting 35 minutes and paying a 5 dollar wrapping fee the wrapping would be immaculate however it looks as though the wrapping paper was thrown on in 30 seconds.

I had no idea this store even existed. I'm glad it does because there are some pretty cool things inside. They have lamps, books, gadgets and all kinds of unique and interesting items. It's a great place to go shopping for a gift or something unique for yourself. Reminds me of the MAD gift shop over by Columbus Circle (definitely worth a visit). While the prices at the MoMa Design Store aren't for bargain shoppers, you can certainly get some ideas just by visiting. I had a hard time resisting buying something-- that's the only reason I can think of why you shouldn't go here. Great place to take visitors from out of town too.

There are so many great things I wish I could buy at this store. My house, my closet and my life could use some of these neat knick knacks, funky clothes and jewelry and random decorative pieces. Prices range from kind of expensive to really expensive but a lot of these items are unique or limited edition so won't be able to find most of them on Amazon. Tip: 20% off everything and free shipping for Black Friday/Cyber monday!

Always fun to check out the MOMA store! They are constantly offering amazing products with full of creativity. I usually spend 30min to 1hr just to explore the goodies one by one. This is like a live interactive museum. Very thoughtful but yet artisty designs for day to day used stuff from mugs, to tea infuser, to clocks, to cameras, whatever you name it. Also a great spot for gift shopping.

Lots of different items to check out and play with-if you are looking for a special gift for someone they have a lot of unique items that you wouldn't be able to find elsewhere. Just be prepared to drop some dough at this store-it is pricy. I went mostly just to play with items-wish I could afford them and then left. But still a fun place to check out!

MoMA merchandise is just sooo cool. Every time I'm in NYC, I have to check out one of the MoMA stores and I always end up with a few gifts. This store gets really crowded, so maneuvering can be tricky, especially since there is so much to gawk. Anyway, the items are usually unique, usual, cool, a collaboration with an artist or architect, or a combination of all these things. During my visit earlier this year, I picked up a really cool paper weight that was designed by Tibor Kalman. It's a silk-screened vinyl imprinted paperweight that looks like a blueprint and was hand-crumpled and wrapped around a steel weight. Very cool gift for engineers and architects! I'm also obsessed with MoMA's collection of perpetual calendars (I have four different ones, lol). These are awesome to have on your desk! It's paperless and foreverrrrrr! My favorite one so far is the round magnetic version designed by Gideon Dagan (1998). It's sleek and easy to use (the blocks are cute and everything, but I constantly knocked them over). I could go on and on. Basically, I'm very satisfied with everything I've purchased and I'll continue to visit on future trips!

I hadn't been to this store for many years, but there was a one-day sale on certain items yesterday and it was much more convenient going here than to Midtown. I'd forgotten about how attractive this store is, plus they have a nice selection. Also, the employees were very friendly and helpful (the man who I spoke to on the phone, to confirm that they had the item I wanted - and the young woman who helped me find the item and rang up my purchase).

If I could just hand all of my money over to one retail store...it would be this one. Every design and art lover's dream store *insert heart eyes emoji here*. This store offers customers one of a kind unique gifts, novelty items, and modern and classic utilitarian gadgets. I love the fun and quirky yet usable stuff so I purchased their Pad of Butter sticky note pad, maki sushi push pins, and metal pillboxes to take home with me in my suitcase. I did my best not to go overboard here but there is just so many wonderful products to look at and give as gifts it's hard to contain yourself! If you happen to be traveling to NY during the holiday season, consider giving this place a look. Who knows, you may just end up finding the right gift for the hard to buy for person in your life. If you can't make it to one of their store locations in-person, you can always check out their online store too (https://store.moma.org) to see the collection of amazing items.

Any business that aims to recover upfront research or design costs through seemingly irrational pricing, be it pharmaceuticals or high-end furniture, needs to be approached with caution. Case in point--the MoMA Design Store, that is stocked with items that are, for the most part, gimmicky or expensive, and in all cases poor value for money. It is hard to accept so much space in prime Soho being put to such mediocre use. A Mondaine wall clock for $395--I could fly to Switzerland and steal one from a railway station in the Bernese Oberland and be back for a few dollars more. Well, maybe not quite. Or molded plastic chairs for over $400? Uniformly dull-looking MUJI furniture such as file cabinets for over $250? Many of the ridiculously priced items are marked down 10% under the banner of a holiday sale. The store does excel in affordable even if over-priced tchotchkes, which likely explains its favorable portfolio of reviews, and warrants a three-star rating. Colorful salt and pepper shakers, fruit bowls, home accessories, toys, flashcards, or infant smocks, all quite attractive and fairly unique. You can join the MoMA to save 10% at the store, or get a free entry ticket to the MoMA by spending $85 at the store or, better still, episodically shop for cheap and captivating gifts that will doubtless bring fleeting delight to a gullible cherub or a forgiving friend. That third choice would be mine.

fun fact: i didn't know that if you buy something at the moma museum that you can return here :). so i did. it was very helpful. impulse buys happen lol. i'm so glad i was close to them to return my item. its a cute store that i would return again :). not to impulse buy tho. lol

A nicely laid out version of the official store at the museum. Here you can browse the latest and greatest objects and things. Great place for gifts. Have purchased a few gifts for friends in the City when in town - and haven't gone wrong yet. And I love looking at the jewelry and watches here. Very unique selection of modern jewelry from conventional (gold, silver) and unconventional (plastic, rubber, woven metal) materials. I have two pieces of jewelry from the MOMA store and love them both.

Awesome Blossom & very Modern Store! Unique & creative books, furniture, home decor and more. There are many fun gadgits that i've never seen before .. which would make fun gifts for friends or for yourself. A little pricy .. but hey, Art is Art ..and they have some interesting Art. Good Tip: Spend $20 = Free Admission ticket to the MOMA

My friends and I came here a few weeks ago while we basically did a food tour around Soho, Chinatown, and Little Italy. We came here to explore and see some of the toys! They had such variety with their items; however, they were all quite pricey. There are so many unique items from toys, games, jewelry, books, stuffed animals, etc. Definitely worth popping in for interesting gifts if money isn't a factor. A side note- no bathroom!

I've come into this store a million times and have managed to NEVER buy anything. How is that? Self.Mutherfather.Control. This store is great. It's like a museum in of itself, with fun products that you might not want to spend the money for, but would be nice enough to spend for others. They have a great selection of items from artists that have actually been featured at the museum (past and present) and it's amazing how many items, every day items, are so thoughtfully designed. Because the theme is "modern", you won't find that many organic things here. I'm a fan of both and can appreciate a good clean design. The kitchen accessories are probably my favorite just because. This is a great place for gifts that you wouldn't normally find anywhere else. Their jewelry, although most isn't made in the US, is really beautiful and very affordable, for the most part.

Huge fan of their inventory - really perfect for gifts! I come here often for Secret Santa and birthdays! The one downside is that their stuff is pretty pricey. They have gadgets and chic finds that are really perfect for everyone. They also have an extensive collection of books downstairs and art-inspired office supplies. On the first floor, they have an assortment of cooking, tech, paper goods on tables and a section dedicated to Muji in the back. The best perk is that they usually pre-wrap some of their goodies, so you can pick up a pre-wrapped gift! Pro Tip: You get 20% off if you have a MoMa card. They don't check the name or account associated with the card, so be sure to borrow a card from a friend if you don't have your own!

In soho. The coolest souvenirs, many u can only buy here . Plus get free admission soon to museum with 75 dollar purchase. Plus more fun and kids stuff than museum shop

Such a small thing makes you so happy sometimes. It's about my latest purchase. Gonna wear it anytime anywhere

This store is ADORABLE. Especially when you dont want to make the venture all the way up the museum. Also its much less crowded than the museum shop. I have been here numerous times just by walking in soho. my favorite thing that I have bought from here is my little orange flash drive. Its so compact and the design is just flawless. I can keep it in my change bag and it takes no room~ If one is visiting to NYC for the day I highly reccomend to stop in here. -- Also during the holidays they have nice creative decorations~

Love this place I've only been there a few times for an event. Their amuse bouche are always yummy and the drinks are good. Love seeing the new merchandise and the staff is super friendly. If you are looking for something different this is the place to shop.

Small cute little shop with a wide variety of nifty things ranging from toast shaped coaster to infant toys. Although I find just a few things to be a tad expensive, overall I love how unique everything is with a modern twist! This is my second time here and it makes me happy that there are always new selections of items to choose from! Honestly, I probably do not need any of these things but pretty awesome to have! A few items such as a plastic coaster that looks like a scribble drawn with a paintbrush .... $18 for 1! Definitely not going to buy.....but I'm pretty sure someone who knows and appreciates modern art more than I will ever... will see its worth. Coming back in a few days to buy the multicolored sake cups ($80) and a little contraption for drip coffee ($130).

I got me pig lid here - it helps the environment by eliminating unnecessary waste. The pig lid functions as a food cover (great for the microwave) and also a jar opener! Also me Teastick - Duh, I am Asian...me drinks HOT TEA like it's going out of style!

Still my go-to place to find some really cool gifts to bring home. The items range from a few dollars to a lot of dollars and they can be fun, artsy, and stylish. There's lots of great home decor stuff and things for the office and even things for kids. Go here to find an interesting gift for that hard to buy person. Who wouldn't want a gift from the MoMA design store?

Best kind of place to get gifts for people. They always have unique and super colorful items--kitchen, home, jewelry, various purse and utility type items. Got the hubby an awesome lint brush and a cool butter knife that can stand on the counter without touching it. Better than a Hammacher Schlemmer, trust me.
