BRIGHT DESIGNLAB Leela Brightenburg and Alissa Pulcrano of Bright Designlab, an interior design firm with graphic design expertise, invented a client—Ace, a 36-year-old set designer with a penchant for punk rock—as a springboard for decorating a living–dining room and kitchen. “Ace has an eye for the absurd, and loves to mix it up,” Pulcrano says. Atop the overdyed fuschia rug, a vintage piece from Kush Handmade Rugs in Portland, two side tables designed by Bright Designlab serve as a coffee table and lend the space a youthful vibe. A large black arrow painted on the wall and ceiling over the Bright Designlab dining table and Eames chairs draws the eye to a swing lamp from Onefortythree. Above the Milo Baughman sofa from Design Within Reach hangs work from local artists, including Theodore Holdt and Eve Loggins Mosieur. h
“This design is built on simple Scandinavian-influenced forms juxtaposed with uncommon geometries, layering of pattern, and a somewhat surprising crescendo of color.”
