~Acquisitions & Growth: "WAYFAIR makes its first major *Acquisition*, buying New York City-based DwellStudio as part of a plan to launch proprietary product lines this year.

Terms of the acquisition weren't disclosed.

DwellStudio, a catalog and e-commerce lifestyle retailer founded in 1999, is known for its modern home furnishings and its expertise in upholstery, furniture and textiles, Wayfair said in a news release.

DwellStudio sells products at its own retail stores — its flagship store is located at 77 Wooster St. in SoHo — and at more than 800 retail stores, including Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom.

DwellStudio will operate as a standalone brand under the Wayfair.com umbrella, joining Joss & Main and AllModern.com, the company said.

Acquiring DwellStudio is the first step in Wayfair's plan to launch proprietary product lines and lifestyle brands in 2013, a spokesperson said in an email.

The acquisition follows Wayfair's best quarter ever for revenue, in which sales were up 46 percent year over year, the spokesperson said (specific dollar figures weren't disclosed).

The company has said its 2012 sales overall surpassed $600 million, up from $500 million in 2011.

The company raised $36.3 million in December to accelerate growth at Joss & Main, adding to the firm's previous $165 million funding in June 2011. Investors in the company are Battery Ventures, Great Hill Partners, HarbourVest Partners and Spark Capital.

Some have pointed to Wayfair as an IPO candidate for this year, but CEO and co-founder Niraj Shah has said there are no immediate plans in 2013 for taking the company public — though that remains a goal for the future. He and CTO Steve Conine co-founded the company in 2002, and it now employs more than 800 in Boston.

CINCINNATI — Home furnishings e-commerce giant Wayfair is expanding its operations here with a nearly 900,000 square-foot distribution center in Erlanger, Ky.

The new facility, on a 52-acre site near the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, is expected to be up and running in April, a Wayfair spokeswoman said. With its existing distribution center in nearby Hebron, Ky., Wayfair will have about 1.4 million square feet of distribution center space in the market on top of a 480,000-square-foot distribution center in Utah.

Dermody Properties, in partnership with Hillwood Investment Properties, will develop the new center for Wayfair, according to a Dermody press release.

Wayfair declined to disclose its investment in the project.

“As a company, Wayfair shares our commitment to excellent customer service, and part of that commitment is getting products to their customer as quickly as possible,” Dermody Partner Gregory Arnold said in the release. Dermody’s development practices and “the logistics advantages of this location will help them do just that,” he added.
