Brook Farm General Store: 75 South 6th St.

>> Williamsburg Stores on Marketplace

Known as "hipster heaven," Williamsburg is one of the best places to scout for good design in Brooklyn. Walk down Sixth Street for artsy stores full of housewares and furniture by indie designers. For high-end antique stores that cater to the trade, check out Wythe Avenue, then turn the corner to Grand Street for well edited vintage shops.

Brook Farm General Store: Located just under the Williamsburg Bridge, Brook Farm General Store is all about products that are useful, simple, and timeless. It's like an old-fashioned country store right here in the big city.

The Future Perfect: If you talk about design in Brooklyn at any length, The Future Perfect will come up. Since 2003, David Alhadeff's flagship design shop has led the pack with edgy, experimental design. Call it Moss in Brooklyn or whatever, but a stop here is essential if you're checking out the scene.

A & G Merch: This shop is the little brother of The Future Perfect; the same owners opened A & G Merch. The accessible shop is a place where you can pick up home accessories and furnishings at affordable prices.

Sleep: This cozy store has an excellent selection of bed linens and bedroom accents for the complete girly boudoir. The well-edited furnishings and accessories speak to a customer who's romantic but not afraid of modern ideas of bold color and pattern.

MC & Co.: Carrying an assortment of table-and-housewares from independent designers and artists, the shop always has a lot to observe. Owner Corinne Gilbert is careful to chose unique objects that haven't saturated the marketplace.

Fresh Kills: Mid-Century with Edge. A wonderfully eclectic mix of vintage and new pieces, the shop has a sophisticated eye for what we can attempt to classify as retro suburban glam.

Modest Designs: Primarily an online business that caters to professionals designing for clients, Modest Designs is a treasure trove of furniture and decorations from historically important designers. Hans Wegner, Paul McCobb, Gianfranco Fratttini, and Edward Wormley's designs are arranged in vintage vignettes throughout the main level and basement of this corner store.

Carl Chaffe: This space on Wythe Avenue is similar to its neighbor, Modest Designs: Mr. Chaffee's wares are thoughtfully displayed and easy to browse, prices are on the high end, and the selection caters to professional designers.

Two Jakes: Two Jakes has a large inventory of used office furniture (much of it is suitable for home use). Vintage pieces like Saarinen chairs and Steelcase desks crowd the interior space and leave just enough room for Two Jakes' new furniture from manufacturers like Blu Dot, Emeco, and Bisley.

Portmanteau: This small shop features a well-edited collection of vintage and gently-used furnishings and accessories. Located near the corner of Grand and Wythe, the shop's small footprint translates to an ever-changing array of merchandise ranging from large-scale storage pieces and sofas, to eclectic knick-knacks and table ware.

Moon River Chattel: The general store is not extinct yet. Moon River Chattel provides a wide-ranging collection of practical if pricey housewares. 16 years old, it's an antique and home store that will charm your senses with its vintage chic.

Scandinavian Grace: Since Fredik Larsson and James Anthony opened Scandinavian Grace a few years ago, they've expanded their space and widened their focus from Scandinavian glass and housewares into large items for the home.

Luddite: Owners Luke and Rebecca have got a great design sensibility, and a good eye for unique finds. The store is chock full of furniture, lighting, art, clothing, maps... and it's all vintage.

Voos: Just west of Berry (next to Mast Brothers Chocolate!) is one of the largest collections of furniture by New York City designers outside of BKLYN Designs.

Dijital Fix: In the heart of hipster heaven is an electronics shop with an eye for good design at the heart of their selection, offering home audio speakers, turntables, mp3 systems, headphones, lighting, storage and miscellaneous tech gear all curated to look good as much as sound good.
