News broke over the weekend that Racked 38 Member home design authority, Branca is having a huge sale in preparation for another step in the store's evolution. Owner and chief designer, Alessandra Branca has invited a select group of friends and clients to shop the 60% sale tomorrow and Wednesday before the sale opens to the public on Thursday.

A few months back we broke the news that Branca was in the process of manufacturing a namesake line of fabrics for tabletop and upholstery, soft accessories, wall coverings, and more substantial pieces of furniture in addition to place settings, candles, journals, and special items created by partnerships with artisans from around the world. Undoubtedly the next space that Branca leases will be large enough to house all of these things and will most likely be in a more visible area. The products in development are being released into the market between 2013 and 2015.
