SHOPPE OBJECT New York Winter 2026

SHOPPE OBJECT New York Winter 2026 Starrett-Lehigh Building

From February 1st to 3rd, the premier home and gift trade show SHOPPE OBJECT returned to New York, occupying the light-filled 3rd and 4th floors of the historic Starrett-Lehigh Building. Located in West Chelsea, this 2.3 million-square-foot industrial-modernist landmark was designed by Yasuo Matsui and completed in 1931. Originally a freight terminal featuring massive elevators for trains and trucks, the 19-story structure gained international acclaim in MoMA’s 1932 “International Style” exhibition and remains celebrated for its iconic ribbon windows.

Spending five hours exploring SHOPPE OBJECT New York Winter 2026 was truly not enough time to navigate the two floors and converse with the many brands of interest I found. The show was packed with over 800 curated brands, yet it maintained the cool, approachable vibe I appreciate. The energy this season was incredible. 20% of exhibitors were new brands, and nearly half of the brands were from abroad, spanning 40 countries. It’s more than just a trade show; it’s a gathering for those who truly value the inspired and the well-made. From its roots in NYC to its new international events in Paris, Shoppe Object is the premier destination for taste-making merchants and editors.
