WRK rocks the vintage industrial in a huge way. These guys are amazing scavengers and designers (ok, borderline hoarders) who have a killer brick and mortar shop located, fittingly, across Prince Street from the old brick wall of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Nolita. The unsuspecting retail space lures you in with a concrete front yard full of industrial benches, chairs and containers. Up the steel staircase and inside, they display and sling found objects from crumbling upstate factories to long-forgotten basements in Brooklyn.
You must wander through WRK and check out their superb selection of carefully curated curios for your home or workplace. Vintage furniture, restored objects, repurposed materials, a Spring Break Videodisk…everything in this soulful shop tells a story. Guaranteed, you’ll walk out with something you never knew you wanted – but had to have. And, for the time being, they have an Earnest Sewn pop-up shop adding a nice dose of Paul Bunyan flannel and denim to the vintage industrial mix.
