New York
Anyone who's spent an afternoon rifling through the attic of a well-oiled, well-travelled grandparent will appreciate the unique shopping experience that's on offer at ABC Carpet & Home in New York.
Emporium rather than mere shop, this two building, 6-storey trove is living proof that quantity and quality can sit side-by-side quite happily. With virtually every country round the globe name-checked, you'll find anything you could possibly want from antique to cutting edge contemporary, traditional Latin American to Scandinavian design.
But what might sound like a disparate hoard rather than a tasteful edit is presented in such a way as to recreate that attic-rifling experience - certainly a pleasure and not a chore.
