Artemide Flagship Soho

Fourth Street dead-ends into a straight shot of cast-iron stoops and cast-iron lofts up to Houston; Greene is the last brick corner before that gives out to the green void of Soho’s side streets. Artemide Flagship Soho sits right there, on the corner of Greene and Prince, sandwiched between a pasta take-out and a print shop that still sells pocket combs.

This lighting store is all about lamps and fixtures—task, accent, floor, ceiling, you name it—and if you’ve walked Soho on a drizzly afternoon you’ve probably spotted the glow from inside. The one-time silk-district address hasn’t changed; the store’s window still frames pendants like floating constellations. Give them a ring at (212) 925-1588.

Greenwich Village rolls north three long avenues away; Little Italy’s red awnings start two blocks east on Mulberry. No subway station looks exactly the same twice, but 46 Greene St New York, NY 10013 never seems crowded. Grab a coffee on Prince, then vanish into a corner of Greene where the light fixtures rewrite entire rooms.
