About
Our Mission
Shoppe Object is New York’s premier home and gift show. In partnership with parent company ANDMORE (previously IMC), the show presents a curated roster of visionary brands and makers in an elevated setting – the ultimate resource for tastemaking merchants and influential editors. Born of a vanguard spirit to celebrate and service the progressive retail and design community, Shoppe Object is a gathering of fellowship, an expression of ideas, and a physical manifestation of a shared dedication to, and reverence for, the beautiful, the inspired, and the well-made. In October 2023, Shoppe Object launched Shoppe Object – High Point, a twice-yearly installment at High Point Market focused on a curated selection of home goods and furniture brands.
Our Story
Shoppe Object debuted in NYC in 2018 as a small, independent show with 100 brands. Since then, the show has flourished to a community of hundreds, with a year-round digital marketplace and four shows per year: winter and summer on Manhattan’s Lower East Side with 700+ brands in the Home & Gift space, and spring and fall in High Point Market with 100+ Home brands.
The show was founded by Jesse James of Aesthetic Movement – the premiere agency servicing discerning clients in the gift, home, jewelry, and personal accessories industries – and Deirdre Maloney and Minya Quirk, partners in Bast & Bell and co-founders of the apparel trade show Capsule, acquired by Reed exhibitions in 2013. In 2018, over a glass of wine on the Lower East Side, the trio imagined a scenario that combined their first-hand knowledge of the evolving home and gift market with trade show expertise, and Shoppe Object was born.
Acquired by ANDMORE (previously IMC) in 2022, Shoppe Object continues to expand while staying rooted in its founding values, celebrating connection, beauty, and inspiration.
