After living abroad in London for a while, Rob Forbes attempted to decorate his apartment back in the U.S. with the clean, classic European lines he came to love–only to realize those designs were quite literally out of reach. In 1999, the Stamford, CT headquarters of Design Within Reach was established to provide a new solution to that problem. Today, there are over 40 DWR “Studios,” but you can order any of the company’s designs or merchandise online as well.
