Partners & Spade
The brain-child of Andy Spade (yes, Kate’s husband) and Anthony Sperduti, Partners & Spade is part art gallery part novelty shop that serves as a front for the duo’s brand consulting firm during the week. A treasure trove of curious goods and inspirations cover every available surface: while certain miscellanea are displayed in aged wooden cabinets other knick-knacks are stashed in pull-out drawers. Merchandise ranges from $1 bouncy balls to a $75,000 antique book of botanical drawings. Mixed in with the products are rotating art exhibits - some pieces available for purchase, some not.
Partners & Spade, 40 Great Jones Street, between Bowery and Lafayette Street, New York NY. T 646 861 2827. Open Saturdays, 11 a.m.-6 p.m.; Sundays, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
