Our Mission
Shoppe Object is New York’s premier home and gift show. It is a gathering of fellowship and expression of ideas; a physical manifestation of a shared dedication to the beautiful, the inspired, and the well-made.
Presenting a curated roster of visionary brands and makers, and born of a vanguard spirit to celebrate and service the retail and design community, Shoppe Object is the ultimate resource for tastemaking merchants and influential editors.
Our Story
Shoppe Object debuted at New York City’s old H&H Bagel Factory on August 11, 2018, showcasing 100 carefully selected brands with an independent spirit. The show grew quickly, moving to Pier 36 on the Lower East Side in its second year. Acquired by ANDMORE in 2022, Shoppe Object today is universally recognized as the country’s premier event for curated home and gift, featuring a community of hundreds and a year-round digital marketplace. Its industry-leading bi-annual event now takes place over two floors of Manhattan’s historic Starrett-Lehigh Building along the Hudson River. In 2025, Shoppe Object announced a partnership with WSN to launch Shoppe Object Paris, beginning in January 2026, marking the show’s first official foray abroad.
Shoppe Object was conceptualized by its current President Jesse James, founder of Aesthetic Movement — the wholesale agency servicing discerning clients in the design-driven retail sector — as well as former partners Deirdre Maloney and Minya Quirk of Bast & Bell. In 2025, Renata Bokalo, a founding team member and the show’s former Sales Director, assumed the role of Show Director.
Shoppe Object continues to expand while staying rooted in its founding values: celebrating connection, craftsmanship, beauty, and inspiration.
