    LTS, it was on 5th near President, the east side of the street.

    pitu, you can still get their stuff according to the notice in the window:

    "After six years here we have decided to close up shop in Park Slope to focus more of our energy on developing the Matter Made collection. Our Manhattan location will remain open and there are future plans for an expansion to include many of the great products you’ve come to love from our store.

    Our entire Brooklyn inventory is now on sale for 15 – 90% off. Check back often as discounts will increase leading up to our closing at the end of March.

    There are no words to express the deep gratitude we have for your loyalty and patronage over the years.

    Thank you and we look forward to seeing you in Manhattan.
    Matter"

    thx OQ, but what I liked was (is!) the location.
    There's other shops - in Williamsburg or Manhattan or online - that carry cutting edge design housewares, but none that I walk by every day with my dog!

    ...and soon nobody can go in there for a last minute present for me...

    Well, duh on me! I walk by that place all the time going to the gym, noticed it last night! Never shopped in there, but have gone in a few times just to look.

    good riddance. i never needed their $500.00 ikea lookin furniture or their overpriced home decor. as much as i hate to see stores close, it's rare that they are shops that i actually felt comfortable in. now if only moss in nyc would close. hate those self designated fabulous men and their lack of manners. NO MATTER TO ME!

    I guess it *does* matter, cause when dw438 and Chipster get married (yes, TO EACH OTHER), I'll have to get them something tacky from the remaining gifty housewares place...
    :shock: :oops: :cry:

    Not for me so I won't miss them but you can order from their website if you don't want to go into the city.

    "Yeah, um, about those TPS reports? I won't be needing them. Or any "housewares" or "giftware" from any of those overpriced yuppie money pits. kthanks."
