Philip Johnson's Glass House Gets a Store to Match "It's not a good design store, but the ultimate Glass House design store," said Murray Moss about a shop that opens Friday at the Philip Johnson house in New Canaan, Conn. Mr. Moss, the former SoHo retailer who now heads Moss Bureau, a design advisory service, organized and selected merchandise for the space and installed oversize Corian benches. A map of the 49-acre estate, on which Mr. Johnson lived from 1949 until his death in 2005, hangs prominently on one wall. In Mr. Moss's view, all of the items for sale dignify that modernist masterwork and its architect, be they an Alvar Aalto vase, brass bar tools by Carl Auböck of Vienna or Angelo Mangiarotti's 1956 Maritime table clock (shown, $285). "These are souvenirs, but they should be of the level of intelligence of the visitors," he said, adding, "There will be no finger puppets."
