About the Studio
Our Studio in Portland's Pearl District is our largest studio to date, measuring 8000 square feet and located in the award-winning Wieden + Kennedy building. Constructed in 1914, the building was a former cold-storage warehouse and has since been masterfully reworked into a stunning, open-air, multi-tiered modern space by local architect Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works Architecture. Studio Proprietor and modern design aficionado Kathleen Nash oversees the Studio's extensive display of product along with her knowledgeable and friendly staff. Surrounding the Studio is a neighborhood rich with galleries, lofts, restaurants and design firms, offering residents and visitors a lively, mixed-use quarter.
EVENTS

Ohio Knitting Mills Trunk Show
Saturday, October 11 to Sunday, October 12


DWR is hosting an Ohio Knitting Mills trunk show of virgin vintage knitwear—men’s and women’s sweaters, vests, capes, dresses, skirts, and jackets--all produced by the original Cleveland factory between 1947 and 1974. This recently discovered time capsule of perfectly preserved American fashion and industrial craftsmanship is distinctive for its bold colors, inventive patterns, quality materials, innovative techniques and a good dose of a strong Midwestern work ethic. Selections from this unusual collection will be available for purchase. Ohio Knitting Mill president Steven Tatar will be on hand both days to share the intriguing and compelling story of this legacy of American design invention and creativity. This is also the final weekend of our Semiannual Sale. Save hundreds on thousands of items, from floor to ceiling, for inside and out. Light refreshments will be served.
