I went to SOHO just to check this place out! Lots of brilliant designs and interesting objects, as well as an amazing collection of art books. The store is clean, requires vaccine proof to enter, and feels calm just to walk around. The staff was very polite and helpful. However, I docked a star because the security staff made me feel a little uneasy. They watch you and follow you. I get that it’s their job, but it does make one feel weirded out. If you’re in the area, be sure to drop by and bring home an unique MoMA design gift!

This is a great store for buying presents, especially for people you don’t know super well. All the products are so unique. They have these cool bowls and boxes for instance that are made of a flexible kind of metal so you shape them yourself. They also have a ton of puzzles, reading glasses, ceramics (vases, plates, etc.), and even a kid’s section downstairs.

MoMA Design Store Soho is one of my favorite stores for stationary, home goods and decoration which are inspired by modern art with delicate appearance and creative functions.There is always something interesting and pushing you to buy even when you don’t really need it. The average price is kind of high compared to other stores so I always wait for sales.

Very nice space, visitor numbers well managed so it did not feel crowded at all. We were given plenty of personal space to browse through the many innovative designed products here.

I LOVE this store. It is so much fun to just walk around and look at all the gadgets and nicknacks. The downstairs floor is also so cool, with even more home related items.

After obsessing over their web store for years, I finally went in . . . NGL, I was disappointed that a majority of their in-store products were overpriced novelties (rather than innovative, well-crafted necessities)Sure, their toasters and bowls used creative shapes and pallettes, but they shared the same mediocre materials, defectiveness, and design as Target products. They dont have to reinvent the wheel, however, if Im buying a MOMA branded pen, it shouldnt break within 15 minutes of leaving the store . . .

I was a BIG fan of MOMA and excited to come into the store after traveling 2 hours. My wife and I explored the store and after about 10 minutes we noticed a security Guard come downstairs behind us. We continued to shop downstairs and purchased afew items trying not to let her ruin our experience. We walked upstairs and planned on buying more items but right behind us was the same security guard now stand at the top of the stairs. At this time I notice we were the only black shoppers in the entire store...MOMA this is sad and we will probably not shop your items anymore. Security guard was black female with braids. Horrible shopping experience.

Definitely worth the trip! They have a huge section of Furnishings downstairs including tons of stuff for the kitchen lights glasses even couches chairs lamps and toys. They have a nice collection part books as well as cool little gadgets when house. You can also buy some more work for the walls, pillows, and electronics. How about a floating speaker? They have a wonderful collection of interesting clocks and they even have scarves purses and Jewelry. As I said, definitely worth the

MOMA has this little gift shop in SOHO where you can find what I would classify as mostly decorative items, though some, like the clocks, are functional. There are calendars, cards, diaries, and similar items that are useful as well as decorative, and the shop is interesting enough to be worth stopping at if you are in the neighborhood.

Called to check if an item was in stock and was told yes. When I arrived to this Soho location I was told it wasn’t in stock & then sent up to 50th st. My request was too simple to get this wrong. I’ll always shop from MoMa but this can’t happen to more costumers

Gone are the days, when we used to go out for gifts. However, trusting any random online store is not possible. This is one of the best stores I have ever seen. I got all the things at my doorstep.

Two-story shop for highly functional goods that are designed well and designed beautifully. Plus all purchases benefit MOMA! You can pop in if shopping for a quick gift or spend hours here checking out and fiddling with dope stuff.

Went there Saturday afternoon, there is a quick line in front of the store to regulate the crowd. I think the place is doing good with COVID measures.However, the man at the door was ultra rude and unprofessional. Definitely not concerned about Covid nor customers.

Lots of cool things-- my favorite was the downstairs, where all the books are. The childrens book collection is top notch. I discovered new childrens books and saw familiar ones, all of high caliber in art and writing. Lots of great books on many artists and disciplines. Hard to walk out of there with my bank account intact, if Im to be honest.

Review №59

One of my favourite stores in NYC by far (the other would be The Evolution Store). They have a big selection of unique and brilliantly designed products, ranging from table mats to skateboards.They have unique items from well known designers and curiosities that will put a smile on your face. I must have spent almost an hour browsing.Oh, do NOT miss the basement! They have kitchen wares, furniture and more awesome stuff!

Lovely shop with lots of different, unique designs for everyday home use. Nice, clean store with lovely staff and lots of types of gifts you can try and use on the spot before buying. Can happily spend a good hour here admiring the different inventions and reading about design background for certain items. Has air conditioning.

I love this store. Great assortment of products that you probably do not need but that definitely qualify as eye-catchers. Members get 20% off of most things and you can sign up for membership in store. There is a small book section as well as a kids section on the lower floor. On the upper floor, it is mostly kitchen and office gadgets.

Interesting, modern everyday items as well as unique knickknacks and electronics you wont find anywhere else. Everything is a bit more expensive than youd think itd be, but sometimes worth the extra money. Definitely a cool place to stop in the neighborhood.

Great store to pick up a gift, great location in Soho near other stores and bars and restaurants. Prefer this store to their uptown store as also has books and greater variety of items including glass and tableware. Worth a visit on a trip to NY

Review №77

The products they sell are cute but kinda overpriced and not so much stuffs to really buy. Even though I went there to buy something, I just really had to and wanted to buy something there that is useful and unique and cute and I tried to get one but nothing is too creative, nothing is super cute, nothing is made with very intelligent ideas. Just overpriced because is MoMa’s.

Review №80

Seriously the best store for just slowly walking around looking at every item. Everything is beautifully designed, but actually functional. Theres a downstairs area thats a little quieter than upstairs if you want to take a break from shopping and hang out on one of the pieces of furniture. Items here arent cheap, of course.

Ja
Review №81

This is a fun store to browse and just see the fun blend of art and design in normal utensils and devices. However, I dont think Id ever actually purchase anything here (I cant justify the cost when non-artsy equivalent designs are significantly cheaper). But its definitely a fun place to peruse and bring out of town friends. Somehow Ive even ended up here on dates, its a blast pretty much every time.

Cool lines of modern product a bit pricey but the quality is good and we went crazy with their hand held fan it is worth the price we bought 4 of it we attended an outdoor wedding we were able to tolerate the heat it has three speeds plus a burst of air if you hold and press the button believe me this fan delivers its powerful and it really cools you down

If you need a quirky gift idea, or even just an original one, come here! Museum stores always have the best stuff, and this one is the creme de la creme! You can easily spend an entire afternoon in here, walking around, checking out every single thing - because every single thing is something SO cool! Prices of course are on the higher end of the spectrum, but, so is the quality - so for a good gift idea for someone you love, check this store out!
