Kiosk: An inde­pen­dent stand from which mer­chan­dise is sold, often placed in the com­mon area of a shop­ping center.

Kiosk is located in SoHo, New York. We offer a curated range of prod­ucts from all over the world in an exhi­bi­tion for­mat. Every­thing is sourced dur­ing our trav­els; we build the col­lec­tion while away and then fea­ture what we found at KIOSK for 4 — 6 months. Our cur­rent show is AMERICAN INSTALLMENT #2, in addi­tion we also have an “Ongo­ing” col­lec­tion of objects from pre­vi­ous exhibitions.

We opened the store to offer an alter­na­tive to over-design. We con­sider the objects we stock to be hum­ble, straight­for­ward and beau­ti­ful for their sim­plic­ity and direct­ness. Often they are tra­di­tional goods that have devel­oped over gen­er­a­tions or anony­mous design found in gen­eral stores, DIYs and kiosks. Prod­ucts cre­ated by not one per­son­al­ity but things that are the result of local aes­thet­ics and needs. Their beauty is some­times hard to see in today’s mar­ket; our moti­va­tion to start Kiosk was to shed some light on these anony­mous objects and sup­port inde­pen­dent producers.

The store is not sta­tic. We are not able to pre­dict our stock as it is decided by each trip. Some­times cer­tain goods are only offered on a very lim­ited basis. There is always a mix of things, the goods assem­bled together become a rough por­trait of each trip and tell about a place and it’s people.

Hope to see you at the shop!
