Known for inspiring hyperventi­lating furniture lust, modern home empire Design Within Reach is finally heading north of the border. The 4,700-square-foot store—complete with a mural of Viljo Revell’s city hall, a nod to Toronto’s modernist heritage—will stock just about every classic shelter-mag staple, from Eames rockers to Saarinen tables. Such DWR hits as the vanishing Sapien bookcase ($220 to $330, shown here) will share space with finds from hot young designers like Marcel Wanders and Sean Dix. And you thought King and Spadina couldn’t get any glossier.
