Bright Behind the Curtain
2026-05-21 09:30 - 11:30 (America/Denver) | Trammell-Gagné, 5701 6th Ave S, Suite 105, Seattle, WA, 98108, United States
Furniture tells its story long before the fabric is applied. It begins in the frame, in the seat, in the materials chosen, and in the hands that know how to build it well.
Join us for an intimate breakfast conversation with Stan and Skylar Gotlieb of Bright Chair for a closer look at what defines lasting quality in handmade American furniture. Through heritage pieces, materials, and construction reveals, we will go behind the finished product to explore how thoughtful furniture is made, and why that still matters.
As Bright approaches a century of craftsmanship, this conversation will reflect not only on where the company began, but on what continues to set it apart today: original design, locally sourced materials, bench-made production in the United States, and a deep understanding of how furniture must perform in real life.
For designers and firm leaders, this is also a practical session, a chance to better understand seat and frame construction, how to evaluate quality to value, and how to specify custom dimensions with greater confidence. Just as importantly, it is an invitation to see the showroom not simply as a place to source, but as part of your team: a partner in product knowledge, technical education, and client-ready solutions.

Tailored Lighting Technology with Boyd Lighting
2026-06-18 09:30 - 11:30
We’re serving up tea, treats, and a designer-focused lighting presentation with Boyd Lighting, led by Schuyler Sweet, CEO and Creative Director. A fourth-generation member of the Boyd founding family, Schuyler brings a unique perspective on the intersection of craftsmanship, innovation, and technology.
This month’s Third Thursday presentation is all about lighting technology, made approachable.
We’ll start with a little Lighting 101, covering the basics designers use every day, including CRI, color temperature, and where each works best. From there, we’ll explore LEDs, drivers, remote vs. integral options, and where lighting technology is headed next.
Founded in 1921, Boyd Lighting has spent more than a century blending beauty, architecture, craftsmanship, and innovation, from early residential and commercial projects to iconic spaces including the San Francisco Opera House and Herbst Theatre.
Come hungry, come curious, and come ready to talk lighting.
