In 2013, Mishaan announced he would reopen Homer, the retail store which he closed in 2008. The new iteration in Greenwich Village would have a revolving collection of furniture, decorative accessories, and art.[18][6] The store offerings would include furniture Mishaan designed for Bolier as well as lighting he designed for Urban Electric.[11] Mishaan released his second book, Artfully Modern: Interiors by Richard Mishaan, in 2014 featuring his New York designs.<[19] The book reached number one in its category on Amazon.com.[1] That same year, Mishaan's design company, Richard Mishaan Design, was included on the AD100 list of the world's best interior designers and architects.[6]
