About

The Future Perfect was born from the desire to showcase the newest and best in decorative arts and design. At once it is a store, shop, gallery and mecca, mixing talent from New York and the world. Founder Dave Alhadeff recognized that too much design seen in magazines or boutique windows relied on cleverness but, in the end, had no lasting or intrinsic beauty. In Brooklyn, things were different. Its designers were on to something fundamental and exquisite. In September of 2003, the store opened, celebrating local products and furniture with a party. Alhadeff's Dad flirted with Williamsburg girls and made hot dogs while his Mom worked the register and made the sales. Soon after, The Future Perfect was alive and stocking up on designs and names from all over. In 2008, The Future Perfect opened a store-in-store at Ten Over Six in Los Angeles. These people are indeed excellent and can be visited here: www.tenover6.com. In 2009, The Future Perfect expanded over the river to two locations in downtown Manhattan. One is a tabletop focused shop at The Chelsea Market and the other is our new flagship on Great Jones Street. Most things at The Future Perfect are charming and unique. To that point, there is an entire collection of products available only through the website. All the stores boast their own own exclusives. So stay in touch and visit back often.
