Design Within Reach: Tools for Living Store

The DWR Tools for Living store greets visitors with a simple message: “The secret each of these items share is smart design.” A paperclip—an iconic tool exemplifying this concept—serves as the store identity, while a supergraphic illustration of silhouetted objects on the back wall draws customers into the environment.
