Description

Thereas some irony in the fact that this store is called ABC; almost nothing in here, big or small, useful or useless, could be considered basic. But it certainly is beautiful. The store itself is massive, the wares a hodgepodgeaclean modernist couches and "ethnic" tchotchkes and many things that look great in the store but might not look so great at your house. The carpet store, located across the street from the home store, offers just as extensive a collection, from elegant old rugs that would fit nicely in a stately English country home to sharp modern looks for the urban loft dweller. Cheapskates note: Both stores regularly host excellent sales, with substantial savings on a generally good variety of pieces. If youare just interested in window-shopping, definitely stop by: ABC Carpet & Home usually has the best window displays in the city.

    ABC Carpet and Home, on the west side of the street across from the ABC main store on Broadway, may seem scarily expensive at first glance. But go downstairs to the bargain-basement lower level and you'll find a remarkable selection of rugs in all shapes, sizes, and patterns (ranging from traditional Oriental to Scandinavian modern to acquired-taste op art), and all from $35 or less for a foyer-sized example--the amount you thought you'd have to pay for a musty, flea-bitten, flea-market carpet.

  • 2002 | Best Free Museum of Faux Antiquities

    Surely ABC CARPET & HOME, the six-floor vertical bazaar in the Flatiron District, is intended as a store. But all my references are cinematic: the heaping imports of bejeweled fabrics and upholstery, intricately carved cabinets, and multicultural sundries recalling the treasures of some lost city in a bad French Foreign Legion flick; the jostling of Tiffany lamps against minimal '50s kitchen equipment evoking the patchwork furnishings of some sci-fi zoo-keeper's earthling collection. So I go... More »
