The Future (Perfect) is bright |
One block from the Bedford stop on the L train is where you'll find the cutting edge of sustainable home furnishings, and 29 year-old owner David Alhadeff's store, The Future Perfect, is full of surprises. Alhadeff, originally from Seattle, showcases products by up-and-coming designers that are based on what he calls "explorative good ideas" and "environmental sustainability," and he's got something for every room in your abode. There's a resin picnic table, a line of dishware called 50¢ that's made from vintage dishes that have been reglazed in new patterns, and throw pillows designed by a graffiti artist. A screen called the "Groove Tube" goes on your TV and pixelates the image into vivid blocks of color and light. Cosmic.
