DESIGN WITHIN REACH OPENS NEW STORE IN PALM SPRINGS, CA
Continuing the expansion of the DWR offering, the new Palm Springs location celebrates the culture of the area and the ethos of mid-century modern design
(Palm Springs, CA) - February 16, 2025 - Design Within Reach (DWR), the leading destination for modern living, announces the opening of a new store in Palm Springs, California. Continuing the evolution of the DWR retail experience, the Palm Springs store was designed to highlight the enduring spirit of the iconic destination and developed with the guiding principle of using modern design to educate and inspire visitors in an approachable, immersive way.
“We are continually exploring ways to expand and evolve the DWR footprint, with additional stores on the horizon for 2025,” says Debbie Propst, President of Global Retail for MillerKnoll. “Palm Springs is a natural location for our offering, and we’re looking forward to being able to better serve the community with this stunning new space. From the intentional product selection which beautifully reflects the region, to our Design Concierge program’s incredible services and expertise, such as mood board development, site visits and 3D renderings, DWR Palm Springs is ready to support and inspire customers – whether they are looking to furnish one corner, a whole home or small business.”
Housed within The Shops at Thompson Palm Springs, the 6,200-square-foot DWR sits at the front of the newly opened property, serving as a gateway to the city’s downtown Design District on Palm Canyon Drive. Taking inspiration from the regional culture, the store utilizes a localized material palette of tongue and groove paneling as a backdrop to featured settings, organic textured walls, and polished aggregate concrete flooring. The space is flooded with light from its floor-to-ceiling windows, an emblem of Palm Springs architecture, offering visitors a true sense of levity and visibility that is furthered by the open floor plan. These features emphasize indoor and outdoor living, another hallmark of the climate and culture.
The store’s product assortment spans furnishings for living spaces, outdoor, dining spaces, bedroom, and workspaces- from classics such as seating from Fritz Hansen, Herman Miller’s Thin Edge pieces designed by George Nelson and colorful storage from USM Haller, to contemporary designs such as Knoll’s Perron Pillo Sofa designed by Willo Peron, limited-edition artwork from photographer Adrian Gaut and new introductions from Australian-based ELLISON STUDIOS.
“Palm Springs has been well established as a hub of modern design for decades,” notes Omar Nobil, VP of Product Design and Brand Creative at DWR. “Creating this space has given us the opportunity to take inspiration from and pay homage to the distinct style of Palm Springs, as well as the opportunity to present visitors with a retail experience that will strengthen their understanding of the region.” Nobil continues, “Our intention with DWR's continued evolution is to create a space that fosters a sense of community and serves as a destination for local design enthusiasts.”
DWR Palm Springs, located at 414 N Palm Canyon Dr, Suite S, Palm Springs, CA 92262, will be open to the public beginning on Sunday, February 16, 2025. The Store will be open daily from 10am to 7pm.
