On a light-industrial stretch of Dupont, this huge space holds everything from side tables, ottomans and accent chairs to linens, towels and mattresses. But its showstoppers are the sofas, sectionals, beds and cabinets, all available in a vast range of woods, fabrics and finishes (provided you like neutrals). A queen-size bed might come with a Regency-style scrolled back ($1,025), a sleigh-style bed frame fit for an emperor ($1,495) or a high quilted back in a velvety-smooth microfibre ($1,995). A three-seat sofa from B&B Italia was recently a steal at $995; a hardwood refectory table with two leaves and a cherry veneer went for $1,295. The scale is large, with many upholstered pieces sitting high off the ground; the styles are mostly traditional or urban contemporary, with nothing more radical than the original Designer Guys’ new line, S&C.
