Design Research (the store, the sofa)
Good evening -- does anyone have any guidance on whether it's still possible to find a vintage Design Research sofa? I just missed out on one...very disappointing...I think the construction/style is great. Thoughts? Thanks.

DR was originally in Cambridge, MA and pieces do show up here. Try Reside (resideinc.com) or Machine Age in Boston.

Any more information on DR?
So I can gather Design Research were a store selling all things modern, did they have their own design team as well as resell?
I bought this chair attributed to them, and would like to find out more about it if possible, hoping someone here can help.
TIA

D/R Missed
Ben Thompson founded D/R and designed its signature headquarters building in Harvard Square. I used to walk by it on a daily basis in the early 1970s, filled with great goodies and Marimekko fabric hangings. The annual warehouse sales were wonderful, and much of my intro to design.
The link should help fill you in on the history.
