Modern Tools for Your Modern Home

Design Within Reach is bringing you all the modernist tools you need for your hip modern home. Its new store, DWR: Tools for Living, will open in SoHo on Sept. 19 at 142 Wooster Street (Houston Street). DWR also plans to open another store in October in Santa Monica that will carry the company's home accessory line introduced last year. The stores will be "cash and carry" unlike DWR's furniture stores, which sparked some back and forth here at Apartment Therapy about actually having the cash to purchase some of the items.

Herman Miller Sale

Ten percent off. Free shipping. Well, with gas prices going through the roof and the stock market getting crushed, I guess any savings will help. Authorized Herman Miller dealers such as DWR, Highbrow Furniture and Jules Seltzer are marking down Eames, Nelson and Noguchi classics starting today and running until June 21.

Nakashima Chair Returns

Design Within Reach is the only store carrying Knoll's reintroduction after 53 years of George Nakashima's Straight-Backed Chair, which was designed in 1948. The chairs are $650 a pop. Check out the short video on Nakashima by Todd Oldham.
