I told a publicist ages ago that I'd write about the Minneapolis company she represents, BluDot. Their line recently arrived at the Western Avenue high-end furniture store Kasala. I never got around to writing about BluDot, mostly because I kept thinking about how cheap, good design can now be found just about everywhere other than Western Avenue. One article featured Graves walking around a Target store mocking various objects in stock there. But if anything, Target's doing Graves a favor by allowing his fun, spottily functional products to stand next to its great in-store line Furio and the bright new stuff Rubbermaid's doing with plastic.
Target even sells decent, super-cheap furniture.
Let's compare prices, using the freestanding shelving unit as our example.
