Just when we thought we knew of every design source in the area, we discovered Den Antiques (1810 Central St., Evanston, 847-424-0048). North Shore designers love under-the-radar Den, run by Darren Puffer, a midcentury modern aficionado who is an expert at restoring old lighting. He’s got lots of great chandeliers packed into his small, red-walled space, and now he’s moving and having a sale. Because he intends to focus on midcentury in his new, as-yet-undetermined digs in the city, he’s having a sale on more traditional items ‘til November 30, when he closes shop. Stay tuned to our blog to find out where Den lands. And watch for a story on Puffer’s own treasure-filled home, scheduled to run in the March/April issue of Chicago Home + Garden.
