A New York furniture shop offering personally selected vintage and contemporary pieces, each sold individually with visible pricing and white-glove delivery.

Why it surfaced

Design by Dae turns furniture retail into a tightly edited collection: seven pieces, one of each, from a 1975 sculptural lounge chair to a $9,400 black-walnut dining table. Its unusually direct promise—no “on request,” no trade-only secrecy—makes the shop feel as much like a point of view as a catalog.

The 240-Material Organ

August 16’s newborn domains include a 240-material perfume organ, a repeatedly saved JPEG cat, a ski tracker designed by a 15-year-old, and a searchable page claiming to contain 148,303 prescription records.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-16 Domain Arrivals issue.
