My lunchtime field trip: Design Within Reach

The new DWR store in the Third Ward is drooly-wonderful. The three pieces that impressed me the most:

Fortuny Lamp
A huge floor lamp. Ridiculously expensive, but fab.
(75"H x 37"W x 32.5"D)










Bellato Mirror
Another huuuuge piece, but, my god, would this look great in my apartment.
(82.5"H x 47"W x 4"D)










Giulietta Chair
A beautiful little chair with a price tag that actually IS within reach. (Far more impressive than the photo here.)

I forgot to mention that they have an Ingo Maurer Zettle'z chandelier just inside the entrance. I was surprised to discover that a) it's absolutely massive and b) the pre-printed notes on it look quite cheap... Disappointing!
