Warehouse sale by the sea.

This weekend we’re hosting what has turned out to be the most exciting sale DWR has had in years. Fort Mason is magnificent, nestled on the water between the Marina District and Fisherman’s Wharf, the views provide the perfect venue for a sale of this magnitude. Setting up has been an absolute joy. In two days we have unloaded over 50 trucks of modern design.

Design aficionados thrive on situations like this, the opportunity to own a piece of heaven at a discounted price. Heaven for one may be all about the Eames infused with a bit of Knoll and a few fabulous accessories. Another may go for the Le Corbusier mixed with some Philippe Starck. Each DWR employee has their own story about how their home has been filled with heaven after a fun weekend of working a warehouse sale. Some collect chairs from every sale until they have a full set around a Saarinen Table. Others collect sofas (like me) and I have even seen the occasional hoarder who can’t say no. They usually have an attic or storage space filled with gems that they swap out seasonally.

We recommend that you wear comfortable shoes, know your product and get ready to let us load your car, truck or fuel cell vehicle with your favorite items. There are great deals on sofas, dining chairs (a lot of full sets) and pieces for your garden or office. Something new for this sale, our DIY (do-it-yourself) section, which is filled with items you can reinterpret into something new with a little bit of TLC.

Come down, say hi and if you're daring, ask one of to help seek out your bit of heaven.
