Wouldn’t it be cool if you could shop for your home decor, interior designer and spring wardrobe at the exact same time? It seems Becka Citron and John Marsala had the same thought when they opened Modern Anthology. Fusing a brick-and-mortar retailer, full-service interior design firm and web store all in one, it’s pretty much the only one-stop home shop you need. Both with backgrounds in interior design, Citron and Marsala are curation experts. Not only will you find treasures like new and vintage furniture and the coolest home accessories, Modern Anthology has some of the most meticulously crafted clothing in town. Whether you visit the store in Brooklyn’s Dumbo neighborhood or shop online, you’re bound to find artifacts that reflect an experienced and masculine lifestyle.
