Profile
There’s no shortage of chain stores that can outfit the home office, but for something vintage, industrial, or state-of-the-art�at a Brooklyn price�this crammed Williamsburg warehouse is the spot. Used file cabinets and machine age desks share space with boucle-covered Knoll side chairs and blonde wood bookshelves. Desk chairs make up a large part of the stock, among them used Herman Miller swivel models and Superlight steel creations by Frank Gehry. The occasional old-school desk lamp or in-out box, as well as more eccentric items like typewriters, card catalogs, and adding machines, are also informally displayed among the showpieces. Freshly-minted home goods, including Emeco brushed aluminum barstools, and Blue Dot couches are also available.
