Furniture retailer Design Within Reach (DWR) has opened its new location in Portland, Oregon, US.

The new 26,000ft² store is located in the North Pearl District's Stagecraft Building and replaces the company’s other location in the area.

The new location is DWR's largest showroom in North America.

DWR CEO John Edelman said: "Portland is home to incredibly talented design professionals, as well as consumers who are passionate about design."

US-based architecture firm DFA partnered with Portland's Fieldwork Design and Architecture to design and build the store.

The store’s design drew inspiration from the landscape of the Pacific Northwest, which is reflected on the wood-slatted ceiling and dark wood floor.
