Cheers to two decades of aspirational design at affordable prices! To celebrate Target as the pioneer of making design accessible and affordable to the masses, we’re opening our archives to bring back nearly 300 limited-edition items from 20 past design collaborations—prices will range from $7-$160. The Anniversary Collection is a hat tip to Target’s impact in making incredible design accessible and affordable, starting with our inaugural partnership with architect Michael Graves in 1999. Look for the collection in Target stores and on Target.com Sept. 14. Designer collections and items will vary by store and guests may purchase up to five items per size and color. Guests can visit Target.com once the look book is available to plan their trip accordingly.

Reflect and celebrate

“Design has always been a part of Target’s DNA. From our stores and the products we create to the partnerships we cultivate, our focus on accessible design sets Target apart, and is one of the reasons guests love to shop with us,” says Rick Gomez, executive vice president, chief marketing and digital officer, Target. “Our marketing campaign will celebrate the inclusive nature of design at Target, including a book and documentary that highlight Target’s impact on the retail industry and our guests’ lives by making great design accessible to everyone.”
