Modern by Dwell at Target Makes Good Design Accessible

modern by dwell at target
Have you ever been intimidated by design?

Sure, we want our homes and offices to look nice and reflect our personalities, but actually shopping for furniture and items to decorate our environments can be a bit daunting. Items can be expensive and inaccessible, especially if you’re not living in a major city. Target changed all that with the Modern by Dwell collection, which is in stores now.

Modern by Dwell makes design more accessible and affordable. Who says you have to walk into a high-end design dealer’s space to get a contemporary look that rivals with those you that you see in the pages of design magazines? Now you can simply walk into your closest Target or shop online. The prices are easy on your wallet; furniture ranges from $49.99 to $399.99, and décor, tabletop and accessories run from $16.99 to $99.99.

“We spend a lot of time getting to know our guests, even spending time with them in their own homes,” said Mark Tritton, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer at Target. “Many of our guests have told us they want to add a modern aesthetic into their environment, but they want it to be easy and, just as important, affordable. That’s a challenge we were happy to accept. With our friends at Dwell Magazine, we’ve created a line that captures modernism beautifully. The collection is a great complement to our current assortment – it’s stylish, high quality and the prices are great. I know our guests are going to love it.”

“We’ve long admired Target for how they embrace good design and cultivate unique partnerships, so we’re thrilled to work together on introducing this new collection,” said Chris Deam and Nick Dine, Co-Creative Directors of Product Design, Dwell. “With Modern by Dwell Magazine, we’re excited to introduce modern design to more people than ever.”

The fusion of one of design’s top magazines with Target’s stylish accessibility makes so much sense. Now we can find sleek side tables, minimal chairs, graphic rugs and more at a reasonable price point and an approachable retailer.

Who are the best TV villains since the turn of the century?

Rooting for a characters with a clear moral compass throughout a TV show is always a feel-good experience, and contemplating our own code of ethics while following antiheroes is equally satisfying. Still, an intricate plot can never truly advance in our favorite stories without a ruthless, clearly evil antagonist. The best TV villains are fleshed out with a backstory such that the audience can understand the villain's motivations, yet we still find them despicable to root for — and that we sometimes end up rooting for anyway. The villain will help guide the viewer through the episodes, pushing us to the edge of our seats until we simply can't wait any longer for their plans to be thwarted by the good guy or another oppositional force.

Some TV villains are murderous, while others are simply so unethical as to make our skin crawl. Villains can be abusive, both mentally and physically, and they can be compelling because they make us wonder what could possibly go so wrong as to cause someone to be so sick and twisted. TV wouldn't be the same without them, and they've helped to create the golden age of TV that took off in the early 21st century. These are the best TV villains since the year 2000 — and in some cases, even the best villains of all time.

The 30 best biographies to add to your reading list
Some stories involve incredible, larger-than-life characters. These are the best biographies ever written.

Writing a great biography is no easy task. The author is charged with capturing some of the most iconic and influential people on the planet, folks that often have larger than life personas. To capture that in words is a genuine challenge that the best biographers relish.

The very best biographies don't just hold a mirror up to these remarkable characters. Instead, they show us a different side of them, or just how a certain approach of philosophy fueled their game-changing ways. Biographies inform, for certain, but they entertain and inspire to no end as well.
