Swallowtail

Helmed by one of the city's most celebrated interior designers, Sheri Sheridan's store has been an inimitable source for inspirational home goods since it opened in 1996. In naming her store after the bird that's supposed to guide wayward sailors to shore, Sheridan takes a far-flung, nest-building approach to creating her displays, placing Stephen Sprouse graffitied chairs next to botanical posters and ages-old ephemera.
