awwww. sad face.
spent an obscene amount of money there when they were downtown. barely went once or twice when they moved to Dumbo. Strange move.
i guess the internet has made it easy to find a lot of that stuff but it grossly, GROSSLY underestimates the power of curating and the considered eye. I bought a ton of stuff from him that i never remotely knew i wanted.
I wish him the best. Great memories.

I hope its not a case of original hipster being nudged out by new wave hipster. Regardless, I imagine beards were involved!

Yeah he's cool - He let me throw some design stuff in there to sell and I got to help with the POP up store in the old lime-light. He really digs interesting ideas and is pretty open to show suggestions, etc...
Info says he will do some creative direction, so maybe some cool stuff in the future - we'll see...

crazy. i just went there a month ago when i was in nyc. i was actually commenting on how the guy had the same stuff in there since i was there last like 5 years ago. that's too bad. it was a design archive of styles in that place.

After 20 years. Toshiki and Toshi (DJ MONCHAN) are throwing a little closing party on SUNDAY AUG 3rd.
If you cats are in NYC, they will have free drinks and some cool designy stuff for sale.
Best of luck to them!
