Calliope

Meet your new favorite life-size Pinterest page. Husband-and-wife duo Caroline and Michael Ventura are purveyors of contemporary and midcentury furniture, lighting, art and odd trinkets from all around the globe, making this West Village boutique a hodgepodge for unique home design pieces you won’t find anywhere else. We like Escape duffel bags for weekend getaways ($99), Mike Perry x Case Studyo “No Room for Flowers” vases ($250) for coffee-table décor and BRVTVS gold Cleopatra rings ($98), which were designed by Caroline herself. The owners are also keen on you developing a diverse skill set, which is why they offer appointment-only photography, drawing, butchery and floral-arranging lessons (start at $150) in-store with local instructors.
