About the Studio
Located in the warehouse district of downtown Austin, the DWR Studio joins a growing number of specialty shops and restaurants that have emerged along West 2nd Street during the area's recent urban renaissance. Home to 3,823 square feet worth of new and classic modern designs, the Studio is just one block from the banks of Town Lake, and is surrounded both by buildings of local historical interest and by Austin's new modern City Hall, designed by architect Antoine Predock. Overseeing the Studio is Sarah Creekmore and her friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Validated Parking for up to two hours at City Hall, 301 W. 2nd Street.

Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure®
Sunday, November 2 in Austin


Like many communities, DWR has been severely impacted by this disease. Help us contribute to the search for a cure by joining our team for the Komen Race for the Cure®. The 5K walk will be a great chance to show your support and make some new friends. Or, if walking isn’t an option, you can always give a donation to help us reach our goal. Plus, each team member will receive a DWR t-shirt. Click here for more information. (http://www.komenaustin.org/site/TR?pg=team&fr_id=1090&team_id=33762)

Design Within Reach will also be auctioning five limited-edition classic chairs, with 100% of the proceeds going to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Visit dwr.com/pink in mid-September for details about the auction (or anytime to learn more about DWR). Thank you for your support.
Kithaus is coming to our house
Thursday, November 6, 6-9pm


Earlier this year, DWR introduced Kithaus, a smart solution that redefines conventional prefab. Designed by Tom Sandonato and Martin Wehmann, Kithaus is an innovative aluminum structure that's assembled onsite using a proprietary clamping system that makes installation quick, economic and practically waste-free. Meet Tom Sandonato at our Austin Studio on November 6, when he'll demonstrate the simple assembly and the greener aspects of this smart building system. DWR is proud to be the exclusive distributor of the Kithaus K3. Refreshments will be served. RSVP to austin@dwr.com.
