Jensen-Lewis (CLOSED)

Started in 1964 as a marriage of the Jensen family’s long-running sail-making business and the Lewis’s canvas-awning business, this store—originally for all-canvas furniture—quickly grew to become one of New York’s most trusted purveyors of contemporary and modern furniture. Though the Chelsea gallery is sprawling in size, the painted walls, friendly staff and inviting, mostly European furniture might just make you feel like you're on a Nancy Meyers film set.
