Hasta La Ideas

In the town of Secaucus, New Jersey (which we like because it suggests a high-level meeting about oceans), there is a place where dreams are made—dreams of fully licensed, if slightly scuffed, design classics. We imagine this place to be at all times filled with directionally bespectacled people, many of whom as infants were soothed not by kitschy musical mobiles but by the comforting presence of a George Nelson Ball Clock. This place is the Design Within Reach Annex, which on Saturday kicks off a two-day warehouse sale (restocked daily, they assure us). Grab a friend—preferably one with a car or better yet, a capacious private jet—and get there early, because DWR’s 12,000-square-foot discount design wonderland teems with “non-pristine” furnishings discounted up to 70% off retail price. As for carting that dinged Saarinen table home, you can arrange for delivery. DWR advises you to bring both a tape measure and an open mind.
