DOMUS is located across from the famous Actors Studio in Hell’s Kitchen, west of Times Square, in New York City.

The Latin word for home, DOMUS, represents our belief that the most humble object should combine form and function, be useful but at the same time please the eye and the touch. So from this perspective, our goal is to help our customers create an inviting, relaxing home environment in which to welcome friends and neighbors.

We created this website to welcome you into our “home” and invite you to experience the fun of mixing styles and periods, with the belief that if you gather around you objects you love, they will all work together and turn your house into a home.

Situated as we are in an artist enclave, the items we sell also need to be affordable. So we travel the world to find craftsmen and women as well as small companies to bring you a superior product, often hand-made, at an attractive price. We are also showcasing the work of an ever-growing circle of talented American artists that are passionate about quality crafts, and believe you’ll treasure their work as much as we have.

But one of the most important aspects of our mission is to improve the living conditions of depressed populations around the world by selling (and - in some cases - helping develop) commercially viable items they produce. Whether you purchase a hand-woven bag from Guatemala, a hand-knitted stuffed animal from Kenya, or a hand-woven pillow from Peru, your purchase has enormous ramifications in improving the standard of living of the people that create them. We hope you enjoy adding these special items to your home as much as we enjoyed finding them for you.

WELCOME TO DOMUS, WELCOME TO OUR “HOME”.
