Whenever we’re in Portland (Oregon, that is), we head straight to our favorite restaurant, Clyde Common, at the Ace Hotel. Located in a lofty, two-level space, the restaurant is 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. Here’s a tour of the space followed by the key elements to recreate the look.

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

Above: Factory Light No. 5 Rod in Black Enamel; $249 from Schoolhouse Electric.

Above: Thonet Era Chair; available in a coffee stain (shown) for $150, as well as black, white, green, and red; $175 from Design Within Reach.

Above: Recreate the communal-table feel of Clyde Common with the 90.5 inch long solid European oak Big Sur Table; $1,999 at Crate & Barrel. See it in use with benches in architect Elizabeth Roberts’ Brooklyn townhouse on page 83 of the Remodelista book.

Above: Jasper Morrison’s simple pieces for Alessi fit the Clyde Common aesthetic.

Above: The Modern Industry Stool features a scaffolded iron base and polished stainless steel seat; $195 each from Sundance.
