OUNDERS’ LETTER<br />

FOR S. HARRIS<br />

CONTRACT and<br />

RESIDENTIAL FABRICS<br />

What a rollercoaster this spring has been. At <strong>Pulp</strong>, we’ve<br />

kept a strong focus on our clients, whose projects are<br />

all continuing to move forward, while also dealing with<br />

juggling the new reality for all of us. But one thing has<br />

been clear to us all as we’ve gone through this ordeal together -<br />

home has never been more important.<br />

Our homes have become our offices, our schoolrooms, and our<br />

gyms. And we’ve had to use rooms for so many other tasks than<br />

they were designed for!<br />

But more importantly, we’ve all been reminded that home is our<br />

haven, our oasis, and our escape from the world. It is where we<br />

celebrate, make memories, and raise our children. It’s the heart<br />

of who we are.<br />

In this issue, we celebrate what it is to create a home.<br />

We showcase a welcoming project we created in Seattle,<br />

share how we’re adapting to working with clients remotely,<br />

and share some of our favorite things for surviving staying home.<br />

TREND WATCH<br />

8<br />

People are ready for<br />

warmer weather and<br />

brighter outlooks, so<br />

we’re seeing bold colors,<br />

natural materials, and<br />

fabulously exotic patterns<br />

guaranteed to<br />

shake us out of our<br />

gray-day moods!<br />

6<br />

1.FUN AND FLIRTY.<br />

Multicolored poms, bright tassels,<br />

colorful woven ties - we dare you<br />

not to smile when wearing these<br />

boho babies from Free People.<br />

2. BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL.<br />

This is one brass ring that you’ll<br />

definitely want to capture - it’s the<br />

Porter Pull with a gemstone from<br />

Addison Weeks.<br />

2<br />

3. HEADS UP.<br />

Not just any stone bust, this head<br />

from Noir splits to form a duo of<br />

bookends in a clever take on the old<br />

adage about “two heads.”<br />

4. SHADY CHARACTERS.<br />

There’s something about these<br />

woven shades from Conrad.<br />

They capture the feeling of balmy<br />

weather and lazy days.<br />

5. FAN-TASTIC STYLE.<br />

The fan shape of these Revalia tiles from<br />

Daltile is spot-on for spring. But what<br />

really sends us is the Blissful Berry color -<br />

perfectly named and stunningly styled.<br />

6. A NATURAL WEAVE. Natural<br />

materials take center stage in Terrace, a<br />

wallcovering design from Carlisle & Co.<br />

Sisal is woven into an organic design that<br />

looks like a rattan pattern.<br />

8<br />

7. FIGURING IT OUT.<br />

Outdoor rugs keep you in your comfort<br />

zone, and we love this one from Janus et<br />

Cie. Name Eclipse Coronado, the rug can<br />

be made to order in square, round and<br />

rectangular sizes.<br />

8. A GIRL CAN DREAM.<br />

We may not be able to travel right now,<br />

but we can still dream about islands and<br />

swaying palms, from Vogue.<br />

9. VINTAGE SOUVENIR.<br />

This great crossbody bag from Bali was<br />

a fabulous vintage find - and its natural<br />

weave lets us imagine we’re on a sandy<br />

beach. Shop similar.<br />

10. MODERN MOSAIC.<br />

This embroidered textile from S. Harris<br />

looks like an Aztec architectural design.<br />

The pattern - called Mezquita - has a<br />

sunwashed look, perfect for summer.<br />

CROSSING BOUNDARIES<br />

PULP DESIGN STUDIOS’ SECOND FABRIC COLLECTION WITH S. HARRIS BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN<br />

THE COMFORT OF RESIDENTIAL AND THE DURABILITY OF COMMERCIAL FABRICS.<br />

The <strong>Pulp</strong> team has designed a new collection of fabrics with S. Harris that is equally suited for commercial design<br />

projects and for a residential home that needs gorgeously durable fabrics. Despite a worldwide shutdown and<br />

pandemic, <strong>Pulp</strong> felt it was important to move forward with the debut of their second line that is rolling out<br />

through late spring and early summer.<br />

“So much planning went into this collection<br />

over the last year and although the timing could<br />

be better, moving ahead with the launch helps<br />

support our partners, the reps, and so many<br />

others during this time,” says Carolina Gentry.<br />

“We also want to provide new palettes and<br />

patterns to fuel creativity for designers,” says<br />

Beth Dotolo. “The <strong>Pulp</strong> team is using the time<br />

during this shut-down to develop new creative<br />

ideas for our projects, and we wanted to spark<br />

creativity for other designers, too, who are still<br />

working and designing for their clients.”<br />

The new fabrics were inspired by meaningful<br />

places around the world, from exotic locales<br />

to cities that inspire the <strong>Pulp</strong> team to the <strong>Pulp</strong><br />

founders’ own neighborhoods. Let’s take a spin<br />

through the new <strong>Pulp</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Studios</strong> for S.<br />

Harris collection.<br />

NEUTRAL GROUND<br />

Sophisticated and classic, the neutral palette<br />

has a pulled-together urban style. These designs<br />

can blend with brighter colors or stand alone<br />

with bold patterns that show off a wild streak.<br />

Some of our faves in this group include Leopardo,<br />

an animal print with an almost ikat twist, and<br />

Dresden, with artistic brushstrokes that evoke<br />

the dramatic European city.<br />

10<br />

11


BLUES BROTHERS<br />

Water colors and complex patterns are key<br />

to this group of fabrics. Fretworks, metallic<br />

details, and waves of blues and greens show<br />

there’s more below the surface than first<br />

meets the eye. Casa Battlo is a perfect example<br />

with its graphic and architectural design in<br />

teal with a river of metal running through its<br />

pattern. We also love the tile pattern in Havana<br />

Herringbone, and the mirage-like design of<br />

Hollywood Heights, named for Carolina’s Dallas<br />

neighborhood.<br />

SPICE MARKET<br />

Pinks, corals, deep reds, and touches of<br />

yellow-gold create the visual cues of gorgeous<br />

sunsets in beautiful destinations, or a spice<br />

market in an enticing bazaar. These designs<br />

range from dramatic patterns that demand<br />

attention to quiet and painterly looks that<br />

draw the eye. It’s hard for us to choose<br />

favorites, but we love the half-moon design on<br />

Haystack Velvet (named for Haystack Rock in<br />

Oregon), the spice-toned and complex Jakar,<br />

and Pokhara, a new neutral that carves a<br />

modern mountain range motif.<br />

home<br />

a welcoming<br />

By folding in the glass doors, the<br />

living room is open to the outdoors<br />

with views that go from land to lake.<br />

Blending two design styles made this Seattle-area house the perfect home<br />

How do you blend two very different design dreams? That was the challenge<br />

our clients gave us when they asked <strong>Pulp</strong> to take on a ground-up design<br />

build project outside of Seattle. He was drawn to an Acadia lodge style<br />

that reflected the mountains around this country locale. And she wanted<br />

a more refined transitional look that would be the perfect backdrop for entertaining<br />

friends and family.<br />

This is a challenge we love to accept because the <strong>Pulp</strong> team has a lot of experience at<br />

blending the best of both worlds. So we designed an open-plan interior with warm<br />

woods and gorgeous views of the outdoors, combined with modern touches and<br />

more complex details. <strong>Pulp</strong> was involved from the ground up, selecting the finishes,<br />

overseeing a complex process of staining the wood in the home, and ensuring that<br />

each room reflected the family’s personality.<br />

The clients, operators of a well-known whiskey distillery, love to entertain, so the<br />

home has public spaces that are open and inviting. For summer soirees, the glass<br />

doors also open to the pool area for seamless indoor-outdoor living.<br />

Let’s take a tour of this modern rustic home that’s the perfect mix of city and country.<br />

Room<br />

The home’s upstairs<br />

attic area was originally<br />

planned to be unused<br />

space. But the <strong>Pulp</strong> team<br />

developed the idea for a<br />

media room with a builtin<br />

bar. Now it’s one of the<br />

family’s favorite spaces!<br />

WORK<br />

A first look into a project our team designed REMOTELY,<br />

transforming the home of our client from afar<br />

W<br />

hile most of us are staying at home, we thought we’d<br />

give you a sneak peek into a whole-home project we’ve<br />

been working on! This project is out of town and we’ve<br />

done most of the work remotely with our client. We<br />

were planning on waiting to have the whole home professionally<br />

photographed, but then we thought “Why wait?”! The world needs a<br />

little home inspiration now. So, here you have it. All photographed<br />

with our iphones.<br />

through both a renovation and a full furnishings design, to bring our<br />

client’s home up to a more modern aesthetic, all while keeping the<br />

sentiment of the homes bones in tact.<br />

37


HOME WORK<br />

Our clients, a family with a<br />

new little one, wanted an<br />

all-white and<br />

bright home.<br />

We overhauled the entire home, stripping<br />

away all of the heavy traditional details.<br />

We punched in a ton of contrast<br />

and designed using super functional<br />

textiles to hold up to use, and wear-and-tear.<br />

Every detail was designed with care, specifically<br />

for our clients, working with local craftsman and<br />

tradespeople, as well as artisans around the country.<br />

The bar we designed, with beautiful natural<br />

overhauled the way our clients are able to<br />

entertain. With a more private wine room<br />

and a more open bar area, it turned this<br />

space into a hyper-useable entertainer’s<br />

dream. We can’t wait for the time where our<br />

clients can entertain here again, but for now<br />

it’s a great escape after baby is in bed.<br />

heart<br />

OF THE HOME<br />

KITCHENS KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING<br />

Kitchens really are the heart of<br />

every home. It’s where families<br />

naturally gather, where meals are<br />

cooked, holidays are celebrated,<br />

and memories are made.<br />

And these days, it’s also where<br />

homework is finished, crafts are<br />

created, and where we begin and<br />

end our days together. The <strong>Pulp</strong><br />

team loves to design the perfect<br />

kitchens for our clients. Here are<br />

some tips for keeping your<br />

home’s heart beating for you!<br />

TAKE A SEAT<br />

To keep people comfortable<br />

while they’re working - or<br />

just talking - be sure you<br />

have plenty of seating in the<br />

kitchen. Stools are perfect<br />

for peninsulas and islands,<br />

but chairs pulled around a<br />

small table will work, too!<br />

KEEP IT CLEAR<br />

We like to keep counters clutter-free. That also encourages gathering together, and it<br />

makes room for baking, crafts, and homework. Try to tuck smaller appliances out of the<br />

way and put your spices into a rack in a cabinet or drawer.<br />

42<br />

43


TAKE COMMAND<br />

Just off the kitchen you see below, we<br />

added a “command central” space next<br />

to the pantry. Since everyone gathers<br />

in the kitchen, it’s the perfect place<br />

to keep family schedules organized,<br />

store homework assignments, write<br />

reminders, keep lists, and more!<br />

COLOR YOUR WORLD<br />

In the bright and modern kitchen above,<br />

we added bright blue cabinets to reflect<br />

the lakeviews just outside the windows.<br />

But as a special added treat, we painted<br />

the pantry shelves bright orange to add<br />

an element of surprise! Don’t be afraid<br />

to add color to your kitchen - it will spark<br />

joy for you and your family!<br />

44<br />

45


ADD PLENTY OF LIGHT<br />

There is a lot of natural light in this kitchen, but when the sun goes<br />

down, our clients also can choose from under-counter lights, task<br />

lighting, and ceiling cans.<br />

46<br />

47


WORK IT<br />

This kitchen was designed to function<br />

in EVERY way our clients need it to.<br />

Kids can do homework at the island,<br />

or at their custom homework bench,<br />

while their parents prepare meals. And,<br />

there’s even a fun chalkboard wall so<br />

the artists in the family can have a blank<br />

canvas. But that chalkboard also works<br />

for reminders and lists!<br />

LAYERING<br />

the LOOK<br />

Tips for Layering Light in an Open-Plan Space<br />

Electrical plans aren’t exactly the sexiest thing when it comes to<br />

interior design - but it’s so critical to the room’s functionality. Here’s<br />

how <strong>Pulp</strong> layers lighting so the room brightens your day!<br />

1 2 3 4<br />

KISMET<br />

LOUNGE<br />

COLLECTION<br />

Task lighting is<br />

so important in<br />

a kitchen. These<br />

pendants shine<br />

right on the island<br />

for meal prep.<br />

Canned lights set<br />

flush with the ceiling<br />

give the brightest<br />

light, but stay out<br />

of sight when they<br />

aren’t needed.<br />

When you want to<br />

set a mood, there’s<br />

no better light than<br />

a table lamp. If it’s<br />

burning solo, it<br />

softens the room.<br />

We love a statement light<br />

like this one! It makes<br />

the most of its place over<br />

the dining table. We also<br />

use a dimmer so it’s even<br />

more functional.<br />

TIME<br />

Spending More Time at Home as a Family Calls for Specific Spaces<br />

Formal living rooms are rarely seen in<br />

today’s homes as people get smarter<br />

about how they want to use the spaces<br />

they have. One of the most requested<br />

rooms for <strong>Pulp</strong> is the “family room,” which<br />

can mean TV room, game room, casual living<br />

space, and more!<br />

Here are some of our best family rooms<br />

designs, with ideas for you to try in your own<br />

homes!<br />

52<br />

It isn’t just the super-comfortable sectional that makes this room so inviting.<br />

That upholstered bench-slash-cocktail-table is another great addition.<br />

It tells you that this is a room where you can put your feet up and relax!<br />

53


FAMILY TIME<br />

Did we mention sectionals?<br />

They really are the key to the best family rooms because they<br />

encourage snuggling and lounging! But this room also succeeds<br />

because it offers lots of table surfaces for drinks and snacks, and<br />

54<br />

an abundance of pillows for propping or napping.<br />

We love to design game rooms that indulge our clients’ favorite activities - like ping pong (or<br />

table tennis if you’re feeling posh). This room also offers a wet bar with an ice maker and fridge,<br />

perfect for those after-match drinks!<br />

55


Our clients for this Seattle home had a lot of interests<br />

they wanted to indulge. Inside, we gave them a room<br />

that’s perfect for evening piano recitals. And outside,<br />

we transformed the garage into an extravaganza of play -<br />

with a rock wall, skateboard space, and a gaming area for online sports.<br />

perfect<br />

seeing on Pinterest and design blogs - but<br />

how can I make it work in my home? I’m<br />

scared I’ll make the wrong decision!”<br />

Sarah McMartin<br />

THE STYLE<br />

COMMUNE showcased<br />

our brass-finished<br />

Starburst Pulls against<br />

a weathered gray vanity<br />

for a gorgeous look.<br />

First, just remember that if you’re<br />

painting walls you can always paint over<br />

them! Paint is not expensive, so keep<br />

that in mind and go bold. When you’re<br />

using a dark color on the walls, we like<br />

to use architectural details like molding<br />

or wainscoting to keep the wall from<br />

looking too flat. Those details catch the<br />

light and add dimension. You also want<br />

to use furnishings and accents that will<br />

pop against those dark walls. In the<br />

Dallas study we designed here, we used<br />

lighter toned woods and brass finishes.<br />

They not only look fabulous against the<br />

black, but they also add a lightness to<br />

the look. Don’t be afraid to experiment!<br />

The second SOHO HOUSE in Los<br />

Angeles used our Old Cairo fabric<br />

from our first S. Harris collection for<br />

the drapery in its Large Bedroom. Be<br />

sure to see our second collection for<br />

S. Harris on page 10!<br />

ALI BUDD INTERIORS used our<br />

Hidalgo pattern - part of our fabric<br />

collection with S. Harris - for a<br />

fabulous living room in Toronto.<br />

THE<br />

LAST<br />

WORD!<br />

Hey, Beth &<br />

Carolina:<br />

What’s your<br />

favorite room<br />

in your home?<br />

OUR BEDROOM<br />

“I love our master bedroom! It’s such a<br />

welcoming room with luxe linens and a<br />

neutral palette. I am obsessed with the<br />

vintage chairs I found for the room, too.<br />

It’s just a great place to hang with my<br />

husband and our dog!” - Carolina<br />

OUR LIVING ROOM<br />

“I love our main floor living room. It<br />

gets a ton of great light and the palette<br />

is hyper soothing to me. Every single<br />

thing in this room contains a personal<br />

touch or a memory.” - Beth<br />
