Street

http://www.totemdesign.com
The
tenuous boundary between art and design (happily) gets
blurrier and blurrier, with some designers’ witty creations
looking an awful lot like conceptual art. At Totem, a
few designers are even being promoted as art stars, complete
with curated exhibitions. Here you'll find carpets, lighting,
chairs, tables, design books—you get the idea—to satisfy the
most eclectic tastes. | |

Mixed
Greens artist Mike Houston calls Rosenzweig "the most
dependable vendor of laminates, veneers, and hardwood." You
can leave an order on their answering machine in the middle of
the night, and they’ll deliver your goodies anywhere in New
York City or Westchester the next day. Mike deems a visit to
the well-stocked warehouse "a spiritual experience, if you’ve
got grains in your brains." | |
