Illuminating the American-Made Artist Movement
In addition to running our own design studio and fabrication workshop, we’re committed to building relationships with forward-thinking craftspeople, as well as promoting and nurturing American artistry, creativity and craftsmanship.
Product collaborations with American artists who are pushing the bounds of design will continue to be part of our story.
About the Founders
A Partnership Between Friends on Opposite Coasts
Brightbound was founded in 2019 by Julie Savoia, Nicole Cornell, Will Kavesh and Damon Savoia. With 40 years’ combined experience in the architecture and design industry, we’re an interdisciplinary creative team merging the arts of furniture making, industrial design, and interior design.
Sharing style sensibilities and a reverence for nature, it’s our common values that fuel our work together. We are dedicated to bridging the gap between design development and fabrication, and supporting the creativity and livelihood of our local artist and maker community. We believe this way of working represents and nurtures the future of American contemporary design.
