The name of this home-décor and specialty gift shop references a wily villain from DC Comics; that sense of playfulness informs the inventory as well which features porcelain molars that double as toothbrush holders and metal antler sculptures that multipurpose as ever-so-curious coat racks. Not everything is kookily conceptual, however. Also in stock are South American natural-fiber lamps from La Vida Verde, agendas and notebooks from Leuchtturm, and substantial furnishings such as the sleek industrial desks and chairs. Much of the regular clientele returns for diminutive treasures between larger purchases: Le Corbusier–inspired model homes, an interactive, all-ages line from Chronicle Books, and an indispensable wall of greeting cards—some homemade; many of them, not surprisingly, quirky. — Alexandra Vallis
