Goods that reflect what’s going on in the museum (except you might actually be able to afford something here). Look for pleasing kitchen and tableware, jewelry by design firms, cool art books, and a selection of Muji accessories. Sometimes the gift shop is more fun than the museum itself. (Maybe why that’s why there’s a second location in Soho.)
After your visit to the contemporary museum, stop in the ground-floor shop for items that range from academic (architecture and art books) to quirky (journals made from vinyl records, David Shrigley postcards, graphic tees). For serious design aficionados, special-edition prints and books.
