HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE ARTICLE:

Best bargains include the Room & Board Outlet (open weekends only) and Designer Furniture Marketplace (lots of discounted floor models).
Minneapolis and St. Paul are havens of Midwestern modernism, with the sleek stores to prove it. Shop for clean-lined custom furnishings at Paris Renfroe Design, take a self-guided walking tour of the architecturally intriguing University Grove neighborhood, our sign up for the first Modern MN tour hosted by local organization Docomomo on October 10th.

The authors also recommend a bunch of offbeat and out of the way shops, including Nola Home (global textiles) and Three Pagodas (Asian antiques).

that would be my perfect sofa without the 'outer' armrest.

These are good resources for higher end design. If you are looking for places with more of a variable price range and an antique vibe there is Spinario, Succotash and Classic Retro @ Pete's for your mid-century finds, Sunny Sky Antiques and CW Smith for Asian antiques. Okay, CW Smith isn't exactly low end but their stuff is beautiful and they should have been on that list! Oh and Robot Love for your Japanese toy needs because we all need plastic shaped into sinisterly cute monsters to play with... er... put on a shelf and admire.

A second cheers to Spinario - always a wonderful assortment of beautiful items. (And Robot Love, too, since I live down the street!)
