Word scores. Overtime. X’s. Some things are always better when tripled.
Which is perhaps how creative genius Marcel Wanders justifies the extra “o” in Moooi (meaning “beautiful” in Dutch), the Netherlands-based home design store he co-owns.
The Alice-in-Wonderland-meets-Ikea company has tricked out the interiors of restaurants and hotels around the world, including Miami Beach’s Mondrian South Beach, and has now opened its first U.S. locale in Midtown. (We’re so hip.)
Chances are you’ll miss its unpretentious storefront while gawking at gigantor Midtown Miami across the street, but Moooi is definitely worth busting a U. Oversize, fringed drum light shades hang from the ceiling, and you’ll have to fight the urge to ride the massive black horse lamp.
The ’70s-inspired green tweed sofa would look perfect in your living room; same for the black and white floral-patterned rug. As for the haunted house-perfect Goth chairs? You might just have to buy two.
No, make that three.
Moooi, 3438 North Miami Avenue (305-573-4445 or moooi.nl).
