Last year our second-cousin opened a romance bookstore at 44 Brattle Street in Harvard Square. The Boston Globe referred to her spot at that storied address as “the former Ann Taylor space.” Good grief. It’s true that Ann Taylor had been there for a long time, but that entire building is infinitely more notable as the home of Design Research, the store that brought modern living to American houses and the reason for which that building was built in 1969. This book tells the story of DR, told by the people who were there. (And there are a lot still around. People are always coming in and telling us about working there.) This one records not just an important part of Cambridge, but of design history in America.
