More-in-Store featuring Kikkerland®

Kikkerland
The Studio Museum Store appeals to the young, the young-at-heart, the art aficionado and the collector of the charming oddity. Kikkerland’s artfully designed gadgets are tongue-in-cheek in their simplicity and vivacity. The wind-up Critter totters on spindly legs until it teeters over, the keychain-sized Music Box tinkles a familiar melody, the stress-relieving Molecular Massager doubles as an artistic knick-knack, and the sleek and modern Bookend Men designed by Chris Collicott will help keep Museum book purchases tidy. Kikkerland’s Futuro Perpetual Wall Calendar will help you keep track of the Studio Museum’s next opening. So once you get uptown and into the gallery, check out the Museum Store’s collection of Kikkerland products and other great gift items for your favorite museum goer or connoisseur of cute.
Kikkerland Design Inc., a wholesale company that sells its products to museums and retail shops, has followed the spirit of its design philosophy, “Humor, charm, added value and affordability,” to wide-recognition and acclaim in the design world. A wonderfully implemented artistic philosophy and exclusivity of distribution makes their products coveted design pieces. Products from Kikkerland’s six hundred-item catalogue are handpicked for the Studio Museum Store from its distribution center right here in Harlem.
More-in-Store is the Studio Museum’s new collaborative, installation-based project that invites local retailers and artisans to share their creations with visitors to our store. By presenting aesthetic and retail treasures from the Harlem community, More-in-Store gives Museum visitors access to the creativity of our neighborhood. Kikkerland products are featured in the Museum Store this season.
