We just finished writing up an item on the Toms-Price sale this weekend when news came of a sale at Design Studio’s new outlet in Elk Grove Village. Find savings of 50 to 75 percent on Design Studio’s high-end contemporary furniture, as well as on art, furniture, lighting, and rugs. After this weekend, the outlet, which stocks discontinued items, odds and ends, and customer returns, will be open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., or by appointment. We’ve shown a bedroom here from Design Studio’s Web site to give you an idea of the sorts of things the store carries; these items aren’t necessarily available at the outlet.
