1,Moss NY, New York
In the depths of Soho, former fashion entrepreneur Murray Moss opened a store in a small gallery space in 1994 focusing on industrial product design. The store quickly became internationally known for its product selection and presentation, particularly in late 1999, when Franklin Getchell joined the company and Moss expanded to include furniture, lighting, watches and jewellery, books and tabletops. The shop has been intentionally designed to look and feel like a museum, with everything locked behind glass or raised onto platforms. Staff are self-described as ‘young, good looking, courteous, helpful, and informed’.
