Design Within Reach: Mix or Match


The second store I went to was this place, Design Within Reach.

Their thing was a bout mixing and matching which was cool.

Out of all the three places... I can imagine working here the most because it was really different in terms of furniture. If you go to other furniture stores, they have simple things but they are not cool. The people who work for this company, they put simple but in a different way. Its not just about having a chair that is functional but a chair that is functional and cool. Something that is different.

This is what's cool about this place. Its the middle ground between art, function, and the nature of that object.

One of the pieces that I fell in love with was this artichoke lamp. It was sooo cool. It was very industrial looking but it has that organic thing too because of the nature of the shape.

Thats why its called the artichoke.

The next thing that I love is this gigantic lamp.

It looks like a table lamp but this company made it really big so it could become the main light source. And it is using one only light bulb. So you're using the same amount of light but its covering more area. Two words: Greenly Fabulous
