Design Research: The Store That Brought Modern Living to American Homes

The visionary mid-century retailer Design Research was in large part responsible for bringing modern interior design into the lives of ordinary people. From textiles by Marimekko to furniture and objects from cutting-edge Danish and Finnish modernists, this pioneering store made good design available to anyone.

This volume - rich with interviews and historical photographs - tells the story of the store, the unique approach to shopping it pioneered, and the luminary business people and designers who loved it then and esteem its legacy today.
