Dania Furniture is a resource that pops up time and again in our comment threads and Midwestern House Tours. They've opened a new store in the Algonquin Galleria that features a wide selection of their affordable contemporary furniture. Functional and reasonably priced, Dania products are rooted in a twenty-year history of quality European design. In addition to the Algonquin location, Dania has stores in Lombard, Northbrook, Orland Park, and Hoffman Estates. Click below for a few selections from the new store...

The Verona Desk ($349) is a simple, versatile piece that's perfect for a home office. A glass top floats on a dark wood base, and a keyboard/pencil tray slides out from underneath the tabletop. For extra storage space, pair it with the Verona bookshelf or mobile file pedestal.

The new Savio white leather sofa ($1,495) features a modern design with a floating arm and seat back. The chrome block legs reinforce the sleek shape, which comes in glacier white or black with two leather accent pillows.

The Adria Sectional ($1,995) is designed for a comfortable living room with a modern edge. Upholstered in microfiber fabric or leather, it stands up to everyday wear while maintaining its sleek, simple lines. Deep cushions are perfect for lounging in front of the fireplace or TV.

The Reflections Bed ($895 for a queen) is handcrafted in Oregon from Pacific Coast maple. Available in mocha stained or natural cherry wood, the design incorporates gently flared posts and legs. The bed compliments Dania's Reflections nightstand, high chest, and double dresser: a deep-drawer storage series with bronze or gold mackintosh pulls. Top drawers are lined with cedar.

A Scandinavian classic from Denmark, the Kolding Dining Table ($1,595) works well for everyday use or planned dinner parties. The table stores 3 normal leaves and 3 optional extension leaves that transform it from a 6-seater, to a 12-seater, to a table that seats up to 18 guests. Available in light cherry or dark wood, this is one of Dania's most flexible dining pieces.

Dania has a lot of nice stuff, but a lot of it is sized and scaled for larger (aka Suburban SF) spaces and it seems that they never have sales..
I find the store, Scandinavian Design, located in Skokie, Illinois a much better option for Chicago-area folks. The prices are equivalent, it's a locally-owned and operated store (rather than big-box Dania,) the selection of teak furniture is much larger (for those "investment- have for a long time purchases), . . . and the owner is extremely knowledge and nice to boot. Address/#: Scandinavian Design, 4028 Dempster St, Skokie, IL 60076, (847) 568-0500,
Side note on my Dania experience:
When I was shopping for a teak dining room set, the salesmen at two different Dania stores in the Chicago-area reminded me of used car salesman in the worst possible way. I walked out each store with the impulse to make a t-shirt that said "Teak is teak. Not walnut, not cherry, birch. Teak"

really, a sponsored post? In other words, an ad that is not supposed to look like one? I know this isn't the New York Times, but shouldn't there be a clear line between a posting and an ad?
