The Best Pop-Up Shops for Design Lovers This Summer

Along with warm weather, beach trips, and Summer Fridays, one of the things we look forward to each summer is the ubiquitous pop-up shop. True to their name, dozens of these temporary shopping destinations crop up across the country come summertime, providing the perfect respite from the hot outdoors.

Since they’re short term, these stores are often more inclined to go bold in decor, and many offer goods that might be hard to find at other times of year. This year, AD PRO has rounded up the best ones for designers and design lovers alike.

No matter where you summer, you’re bound to have a good one in close proximity.

Max ID NY, Sag Harbor

Maximilian Eicke returns to his Sag Harbor location for a two-month stint this summer. But the offerings at his Madison Street storefront will be far from traditional Hamptons: Over the past three years, Eicke has been building a compound in Bali, where he’s also designed and manufactured a slew of furniture and home goods, including his new Yahochu line of handmade ceramics. At the pop-up, he’ll sell these alongside some of his most successful products from the past few years.
