For those in the market for new furniture\u2013for their home, office, or another space\u2013a new store boasting approachable, modern styles has opened in Pittsburgh. Design Within Reach<\/a> (DWR) opened its doors to their first Western PA store at The Strip District Terminal (1600 Smallman St.).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Closing the loop as the final tenant to bring The Terminal to full occupancy, DWR has already become a notable stop for luxury home furnishings without the pressure. This 8,000-square-foot showroom is an inspiring design destination and place of discovery for homeowners, small business owners, interior designers, and design enthusiasts alike.<\/p>\n

We chatted with Debbie Propst, president of global retail for MillerKnoll (the collective of design brands that includes DWR) on the mark DWR is making on Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

What is the importance of opening DWR in the PGH community?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOpening a DWR store in Pittsburgh is especially meaningful given the city\u2019s deep-rooted appreciation for modern design, craftsmanship, and architectural history. Pittsburgh has long been a center of innovation, and we see strong alignment between DWR\u2019s commitment to enduring, well-designed furnishings and the city\u2019s modernist legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

What can shoppers expect to find at DWR?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cShoppers can expect a curated assortment of authentic modern furniture, lighting,\u00a0art,\u00a0flooring, and accessories\u00a0from some of the most respected designers around the world\u2014ranging from iconic classics to designs shaping the future of modern living. Every piece at DWR is selected for its exceptional craftsmanship,\u00a0durability, and innovation.<\/p>\n

The Pittsburgh store is designed as a place of discovery, whether\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0furnishing\u00a0your first home, refreshing a single room, or working on a larger residential or commercial project.\u201d<\/p>\n

What might shoppers be surprised to see in the showroom?<\/p>\n

\u201cDWR\u2019s\u00a0expansive portfolio of exclusive offerings is\u00a0what really sets us apart. Whether it is a\u00a0style,\u00a0material,\u00a0or colorway,\u00a0our collection of designs that you can only find at DWR is\u00a0distinctive.\u00a0For example, you might find a USM\u00a0Haller\u00a0storage unit in our exclusive\u00a0Sahara color, or\u00a0a Louis Poulsen\u00a0Panthella\u00a0Lamp in Burgundy, on the floor.<\/p>\n

I also think\u00a0one\u00a0of the most surprising elements for visitors\u00a0will be\u00a0how immersive the experience is. Beyond the furniture itself, the space features large-scale material swatches, thoughtful vignettes, and access to complimentary Design Concierge services. Customers can work one-on-one with expert associates on everything from custom orders to 3D renderings of their homes\u2014all at no\u00a0additional\u00a0cost.\u201d<\/p>\n

A nod to Pittsburgh and creative expression\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDWR Pittsburgh was intentionally designed to reflect the character of the city. The store\u2019s industrial tones, exposed timber ceilings, steel columns, and expansive glass fa\u00e7ade reference the building\u2019s original 1929 use as the Pennsylvania Railroad Fruit Auction & Sales Building. It\u2019s worth knowing that this space was created to be open, approachable, and inspiring\u2014a place where\u00a0you\u00a0can explore\u00a0great design, take\u00a0your\u00a0time, and receive personalized guidance without pressure. Whether\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0deeply involved\u00a0in the industry\u00a0or simply curious about modern design, the store is meant to feel like a natural extension of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
