Lumsden Design to revamp MoMA Design Store

The MoMA Design Store has announced plans for a renovation, courtesy U.K.-based Lumsden Design.

The latest redesign of the space, which opened in 1990 and was renovated in 1999 by 1100 Architect, will allow more light into the shop. Bespoke lighting will allow the retailers to better feature the objets d’art, furniture, kitchen, and impulse-buy tchotchke collections, while a custom-made bead-blasted steel-and-glass jewelry display case will highlight the Design Store’s accessories. Additional improvements will strengthen store circulation, upgrade sales systems, and enhance connections to the museum. Gensler is the executive architect.

“The MoMA Design Store renovation has been a great project. Our single focus was to design a shopping experience that best showcases the unique design pieces offered in the store,” said Callum Lumsden, director of Lumsden Design, in a press release. “Our job has been to enhance the presentation of the merchandise and every decision during the design process has been significant, because the end result elevates the entire shopping experience within the store.” Among other institutions, the firm has created stores for the British Museum, Tate Modern, Universal Studios, and the National Gallery of Canada.

The store, which sits across from MoMA on Manhattan’s West 53rd Street, is scheduled to reopen this fall.
