In our book, How to Live With Objects, we talk a lot about how rewarding it is to slowly and thoughtfully surround yourself with unique objects you feel a connection to, hence why we also caution against the department-store mentality of treating your interior as a series of empty spaces you should fill all at once. But when the department store itself becomes the place to find those unique objects, that advice obviously no longer applies — case in point, our new pop-in inside Nordstrom’s midtown Manhattan flagship store, where now through June 17, you can shop nearly 100 truly special handmade, one-of-a-kind, and vintage objects from some of the makers and dealers featured in the book (as well as the actual book).

Presented inside a colorful installation created by the Nordstrom design team specifically for us, the shop includes both smaller objects as well as larger furniture pieces. The latter include the Thevoz-Choquet console table we commissioned for our Sight Unseen x Bestcase line, and an ombre air-brushed concept chair by Malcolm Majer, as well as seating and tables by Mike Ruiz-Serra, Steven Bukowski, UBR Studio, and Ara Thorose. There’s also a floor lamp made from repurposed polyester pleated clothing that’s been scrunched up and frozen in resin by Michal Cihlar. On the smaller side, our selection includes everything from our best-selling Junius lamp by Arvo Ray to wavy metal pitchers by Sophie Lou Jacobsen to melting marble bookends by Bower to an incredible pair of vintage flowered folk-art candlesticks from the collection of Suuuper Saturday. Both they and Casa Shop contributed a whole suite of amazing vintage items to the project, and we think it’s extra nice to be able to see pieces like that in person (not to mention avoid having to pay for shipping!). We’ve also got handmade glass objects by Upstate, Sticky Glass, and Pattern Play; handmade ceramics by Sean Gerstley and SIN; and handmade metal shape sculptures by Upton that add a striking graphic moment to your shelves.

If you’ve been inspired by our book and/or you’re looking for more objects to add to your repertoire, you visit the pop-in anytime through June 17 at Nordstrom’s 225 W. 57th St location — but since so many of the works are one-of-a-kind and won’t be restocked, we suggest you go soon!
