Vendor Spotlight: International Merchandise Concepts (IMC) and MoMA Design Collection
Located in Manhattan, The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is dedicated to being the world’s foremost museum of modern art. It’s a champion of innovation and experimentation in art, architecture, and design. For over 70 years, MoMA has collected influential examples of mass production, technological advances, and innovative materials. It’s retail stores offer a wide range of products that highlight materials and makers of good design and the Museums curators approve all products that are sold.
IMC’s MoMA Design Store collection embodies this spirit and features products that embrace MoMA’s deisgn sensibility. The collection includes contemporary desktop accessories, writing instruments, key and bag tags – each bearing the MoMa logo and packaged in a custom designed gift box.
If you are looking for a stand-out desktop gift, then check out the pop-up pencil cup, designed by Paul Koh and inspired by the classic drinking straw dispenser. When you lift the red ball, the writing instruments within rise and fan out for easy access. Or check out my all-time personal favorite desk-top item; MoMA’s perpetual calendars, which are available in red, black, or orange. 
The crumbled blue print paperweight makes for a creative closing gift idea for architects or real estate agents. Each Tibor Kalman designed paper weight is made of silk-screened blueprint vinyl paperweight, hand-crumpled and wrapped around a steel weight.
