Encore at Organic Modernism, Design Fest in NoHo

Organic Modernism cleared out its store on Avenue A last month and announced it was closed, but now it’s stocked and selling again. Today, Inanc Uyar, a manager at the Williamsburg-based mini chain, told The Local that the store would be open for just another two weeks before calling it quits once and for all. In the meantime, furniture is 10 to 15 percent off.

OM’s initial closing followed the shuttering of three vintage furniture stores in NoHo, but for at least four days this month there will be no shortage of designers selling their wares in that neighborhood. The third annual NoHo Design District will feature over 100 local and international designers promoting their experimental art, furniture prototypes, “glass stalactites dripping off candelabras” and more beginning on May 18, according to a press release.

The designers will set up in locations all over NoHo (full list of locations is here), including The Standard East Village and 22 Bond. Some of the pop-up shops will be next to the locations of recently closed antique stores like Billy’s Antiques, Art & Industry and Elan Antiques.
