How to Shop NYC Like Design Pro John Derian

Collector and designer John Derian has scoured the globe in search of quirky curiosities: his home accessories shop on Manhattan’s East 2nd Street is a delightful jumble of otherworldly treasures and antiques, full of his trademark decoupage—one-of-a-kind paperweights, serving trays, plates, and vases with vintage prints of botanicals and butterflies sealed under hand-blown glass. There are also 19th-century printed carte postale, and floral melamine plates whimsically displayed alongside a well-curated collection of objets and other oddities, like woodblock prints by Hugo Guinness, Carrera marble fruit, Astier de Villatte ceramics, and porcelain playing cards.
