Steal This Look: Table Setting from Clyde Common in Portland, Oregon
Issue 47 · Thanksgiving Table · November 22, 2010
Adjacent to the Ace Hotel in Portland, Oregon, Clyde Common is located in a lofty, two-level space and decorated in a low-key, Army/Navy style: we especially like the towering fir-tree branches casually stuck in a glass cylinder vase in lieu of a more traditional floral arrangement. Ace Hotel veterans Jack Barron and Natasha Figueroa conceptualized and designed the interior.







Recreate the laid-back Northwest vibe with the following elements:

Above: In the Clyde Common interior, the designers added visual interest to the space by using tarps as wall coverings and as curtains for the entryway; 6-by-8-foot, off-white, 100-percent cotton Canvas Tarps are $33.60 at Tarps Plus.
Above: The Modern Industry Stool features a scaffolded iron base and polished stainless steel seat; $125 each from Sundance.

Above: These Heavy Duty Outdoor String Lights are on a waterproof rubber cord, 54 feet long with 24 light bulbs; $105 at Sival Lighting.

Above: Factory Light No. 5 Rod in Black Enamel; $249 from Schoolhouse Electric.
Above: Jasper Morrison's simple pieces for Alessi fit the Clyde Common aesthetic.
Above: Jasper Morrison Glass Family Set for Alessi; starts at $8 for the water glass at Unica Home.
Above: Jasper Morrison's PlateBowlCup line of sturdy bone china dinnerware for Alessi; prices range from $5 for a saucer to $64 for a serving platter at Unica Home.

Above: Recreate the communal-table feel of the Clyde Common with the 90.5 inch long solid European oak Big Sur Table; $1,799 at Crate & Barrel.
Above: Thonet Era Chair; available in a coffee stain (shown) for $150 as well as black, white, green and red for $175 from Design Within Reach.

Above L: This little Heath Ceramics Bud Vase is $22 and available in three shades of green: Verde (shown), Olive and Avocado. Above R: Bladet 25.5-inch-tall mouthblown glass vase is tall enough to support large branches; $39.99 at Ikea.
