Design Within Reach

Updated: September 11, 2026

Design Within Reach sells modern furniture, lighting and accessories described on site as authentic pieces from designers past and present, serving design-conscious buyers at a premium price tier: chairs run 1,346 to 6,525 dollars, tables 2,396 to over 12,262 dollars, and sectionals up to 9,795 dollars. The catalogue spans Sofas, Lounge Chairs, Bedroom, Kitchen and Dining, Storage, Workspace, Lighting and Outdoor. Built on Salesforce Commerce Cloud.

Website Design

A near-black frame with brand red. The interface runs on a dark primary color #242222 against white and light gray #f8f8f8 grounds, with a brand red #ce2a22 used for sale callouts and a muted beige #efebe2 and green #437557 appearing in banner and category treatments.

DWR Sans throughout. Type is set in a proprietary DWR Sans family for both headings and body copy, with Meta as a secondary face, giving the site a controlled, single-typeface identity rather than a serif and sans pairing.

Sale-led hero. The homepage hero currently promotes the Semiannual Sale, 25 percent off everything, styled around a Saarinen Dining Table in Espresso marble paired with Saarinen Veneer Back Executive chairs. A second promotional band advertises up to 40 percent off bestsellers, featuring the Muse Sectional, Americano Swivel Chair and Reframe Pendant.

Shopping Experience

Category grid navigation. Below the hero, eight linked category tiles, Sofas, Lounge Chairs, Bedroom, Kitchen and Dining, Storage, Workspace, Lighting and Outdoor, each carry a product photograph and lead directly into that department.

Designer-labeled stock. Products are attributed to named makers including Herman Miller, Knoll, Louis Poulsen and Ellison Studios, with New Arrival and New Options labels marking recent additions.

Standard account tools. Registered shoppers get order tracking, wish lists, stored billing details and a history of past orders, the usual mechanics rather than a distinct loyalty tier.

Store-linked shopping. A store locator surfaces DWR studios and partner Herman Miller retail locations, 17 results for the searched area at the time of research, positioning in-person visits as part of the buying path rather than a separate channel.

Brand Storytelling

Design language in the product copy. Descriptions lean on design vocabulary rather than utility. The Americano Swivel Chair text reads Americano explores scale, composition, and ways of lounging in luxury.

Craft detail on lighting. The Reframe Pendant copy describes geometric simplicity with perforated elliptical shades that at once conceal and reveal light, creating a warm, atmospheric glow, treating the fixture as a designed object first.

Notable Features

In-store customization. Studio visits let customers customize designs, learn about products and get fitted in ergonomic seating, extending furniture buying into a hands-on service.

Layered discounting. The site runs two simultaneous offers, a storewide 25 percent Semiannual Sale and a separate up to 40 percent bestsellers promotion, rather than a single sitewide discount.

Cross-brand assortment. Louis Poulsen appears as a named, separately promoted supplier line, New from Louis Poulsen, alongside DWR’s own catalogue, signaling a multi-brand retail model rather than a single house label.
