Design Within Reach
is one-stop resource for some of the most exciting designers
internationally. Founder Rob Forbes, a professional designer
himself, sums it up this way: "The desire to deliver great
products to a broader group of people and to elevate the interest
in legitimate design has been here since the Bauhaus.
Modern
design is a twentieth century movement the mission of which
is to utilize current technologies and production methods to
create more useful products for a broad audience. Early examples
of the modern style date back to the 1920s. We believe that
the philosophy of modern design may be summarized as "form
follows function." Characteristics of modern design furnishings
are simplicity, originality, intelligent use of materials, quality
and longevity and the avoidance of superfluous ornamentation
or period styling.
