Unless you are in the biz, you probably haven’t spent much time in interior designer Kara Mann’s lair—a dark, sophisticated showroom on the lofted fifth floor of a River North office building. Mann, who represents such hard-to-find lines as Casamidy and Blackman Cruz in Chicago, has recently upped her selection of accessories. If you want a touch of her goth sensibility, there’s no better place to start. (Pieces are available by special order through the showroom.)
