We told you all about The Bright Group’s new Dallas Design Center showroom in our September/October issue of D Home, and last night the design cognoscenti came out to toast the stunning 5,400 square foot space.

Guests mingled among the blown glass lighting fixtures by Charles Loomis while admiring goods crafted by Bright’s roster of small, independently owned American manufacturers and artisans.
