Nordstrom Now Sells Home Goods at Its New York Store

Like others during the pandemic, Olivia Kim, the vice president of creative projects at Nordstrom, spent a lot of time looking at dishes and other housewares. In her case, it was not just because she was working from home, but also because she was putting together a home goods department.

That department, on the first and second floors at Nordstrom’s flagship in New York, opens Friday and has a mix of mainstream and smaller brands, with an emphasis on less well-known names.

New York City-based labels have a big presence, including Thompson Street Studios and Wooj. There is also a section devoted to goods from the MoMA Design Store, including colored pottery from the Copenhagen label Raawii (from $72), pastel side tables from Kartell (from $165), and neon Mondrian-inspired vases by MoMA’s in-house design team ($100).
