12-2-clioname.gifWhile other housewares stores in Soho flourish and then fade away, Clio manages to stay in bloom. This diminutive shop is a favorite, and its collection has a finesse and an elegance that separates it from the competition...

 
 

The selections here are surprising and mixed, from thin glassware from Eastern Europe to lush, thick plates from Tse-Tse in Paris. You will find also find a fine selection of avant-garde designs from hip Dutch designers.

From the website: Representing a variety of styles from rustic to modern, Clio offers a treasure trove of plates, glasses, bowls, serving pieces, flatware, vases, table linens, lamps and more—all with an emphasis on design. Created by designers across the globe from Brooklyn to Tokyo, the items are displayed on antique farm tables, cupboards, shelves, and hutches—which are also for sale.

I LOVE the chairs in that top photo! Any idea for sources?

What does that mean, that Clio is a sister to Global Table? Are they owned by the same person? (love G.T. by the way)

Make sure they wrap up the "thin glassware from Eastern Europe" carefully and don't place it at the bottom of a bag with heavy platters on top.

I found this out the hard way and was only offered a small discount on a replacement.

Very disapointed.

make sure nothing you try to purchase through Clio is back ordered---if it is expect to wait a long, long time to get what you have paid for...

Not sure either what the post means by "sister relationship" between these two stores. As far as I know, they are separately owned, and I don't think there are the fondest relations between the two.

To set the record straight, there is no "sister relationship" between Clio and Global Table. Global Table started over 13 years ago and for years the owners of Clio were customers of GT and had even registered for their wedding list there. They approached GT"s owner for advice when they decided they wanted to open their own store. She gave that advice which never imagining they would open a clone around the corner. How's that for karma?
