Design Within Reach | Diversity Employer
At Design Within Reach, home comes first — We believe in creating and sourcing pieces that move with you and are meant to be enjoyed over a lifetime – from home to home, generation to generation. For us, that means exceptionally crafted, built-to-last, and beautifully designed furnishings.
Design Concierge
Whether you’re starting from scratch, need one key piece, or a few finishing touches, we’re here to de-stress the design process. Our expert Associates can design room plans, help you choose the best furniture and fabrics for your lifestyle, and show you exactly how it will look in your home with 3D renderings. And it’s all free of charge.
The aha moment
The idea for Design Within Reach came to founder Rob Forbes in 1998, when he tried to furnish his apartment with the clean, simple classics he’d come to appreciate while living in London. He discovered that works by designers such as the Eameses, Le Corbusier, and Saarinen were “out of reach” for anyone who didn’t know the secret handshake or have the patience to wait months for delivery.
Taking action
Realizing there had to be a better way, Rob and a small team bought 20 containers of inventory, mailed a catalog and waited for the phone to ring. (It didn’t for 24 hours, until we realized that we’d accidentally left the answering service on.)
Feeling the love
Architects, interior designers, and the general public responded immediately, and to our surprise, so did the brands that Rob had struggled to get his hands on just months earlier. One of the first brands to appreciate our approach was the Michigan-based company Herman Miller. Within a year of launching, we were bringing the Eames Lounge Chair, Aeron Chair, and many other Herman Miller favorites directly to retail customers across the country via catalog – for the first time ever. So it was kismet when Design Within Reach became part of the Herman Miller family in 2015.
