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.

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.
