Fifty Shades Of Bend
Dear Internet,
It's time we talked about your color fixation. A quick Pinterest search gone awry will undoubtedly lead you down a labyrinth of magenta front doors, teal painted mason jars, and smaragdine accent walls (yeah, it's a real color, Google it). A chromatic orgy of the architecturally-bound variety, if you will. It would then make sense that some of your favorite digitally savvy brands, would share a similar obsession. Enter minimalist design pioneer, and geometric outdoor furniture enthusiast Bend Goods. Showcasing some of their latest product, Bend has taken over a nondescript house off Highland, and transformed it into a hypnotic color masterpiece. Bend Lab: An Exhibit of Color transcends your average branded experiment. It’s an ode to Bend’s history producing simple, bright, fun, and incomprehensibly captivating furniture and accessories. For anyone championing spaces as blank canvases, or design as art, #BendColorLab might be the answer to your prayers (assuming that you were praying for a house full of minimalist wire trophy-heads). The concept is deceptively simple and unapologetically whimsical. One house, five-ish areas, each one painted some shade of something, decked out in Bend furniture & accessories.
Unusual things you might encounter:
Mounted cub heads in orange and white.
Strangers taking selfies with a teal gazelle hanging over a fire place.
Shiny metallic lawn furniture, eerily reminiscent of Mardi Gras beads.
An all-pink kitchen.
Oddly low-hanging chandeliers.
A white chair with leather accents hanging from a wall.
Garage craft cocktails by Pharmacie.
Pink carpet.
Blue carpet.
An all green bathroom.
