If you’ve spent any time perusing capital-D designer furniture, you probably know Design Within Reach. Since launching in 1998 with the mission of making previously “out of reach” design icons available (if not exactly affordable) to the wider public, the retailer has become a veritable stamp of high design approval for the American design enthusiast. Check out classic designs new and old, and be sure to bookmark the brand’s semi-annual sale for design steals.

Best For: Uber-modern, eye-catching designs that would look right at home in a gallery

Prefer to fly in something artful to your bachelor pad that says, “I attend Salone every year”? 2Modern is your best bet, with an ever-evolving, expansive inventory of splashy designs from established and emerging brands, whether you’re browsing for Vitra and Kartell or a Gubi.

Best For: High-end, Scandinavian pieces from legacy designers and small makers

Finnish Design Store specializes in design pieces from, yes, Finland, but also the entire Nordic region—from small accessories to larger furniture pieces that ship around the world. You’ll find limited-edition Alvar Aalto re-issues from heritage brands like Artek and other inventive hand-crafted designs that you’d be hard-pressed to surface anywhere else, like this modular work desk that secured a spot in our Home Awards last year.
