Gentry and Beth Dotolo, the owners of interior design firm [Pulp Design Studios](https://pulpdesignstudios.com/), which is based in both Dallas and Seattle, share a few of their favorite recent pieces from Dallas Market Center.  Gentry and Dotolo are founding members of Dallas Market Center's new [Design Ambassador Program](https://dallasmarketcenter.com/press-room/dallas-market-center-launches-design-ambassador-program-to-inspire,-unite-design-community/), a year-long appointment for six design firms that will lead panels, build community connections, and style vignettes with pieces sourced entirely from Dallas Market Center. The program arrives alongside DMC's broader design push, including more than 100 brands moving into new showrooms in the Interior Home + Design Center and a refreshed look for World Trade Center's 5th and 6th floors. Joining Gentry and Dotolo on the inaugural Design Advisory Board are Teddie Garrigan and Courtney Garrigan of Coco & Dash, Eddie Maestri of Maestri, Javier Burkle of Burkle Creative, Jen Stevens of Fonde Interiors, and Bryan and Mike Yates of Yates Desygn.

Gentry and Beth Dotolo **In Their Words** “This collection embodies our belief that the most compelling interiors are born from thoughtful layers and unexpected contrasts, where classic silhouettes meet bold expression and artistry meets function. Each piece was chosen for its ability to create a narrative of texture, movement, and materiality, from the painterly richness of the rug and the organic glamour of the wallpaper to the sculptural lighting and statement furnishings. "The interplay of warm metals, expressive textiles, and collected details creates a space that feels curated rather than decorated — sophisticated, soulful, and deeply personal. This is the essence of fearless design: not about being loud, but about having the confidence to embrace the unexpected and create something unforgettable.” ![2610\_Design Ambassador Picks\_Pulp\_PressRelease\_Post\_1080x1350](https://blog.dallasmarketcenter.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2610_Design%20Ambassador%20Picks_Pulp_PressRelease_Post_1080x1350.png?width=4250&height=2813&name=2610_Design%20Ambassador%20Picks_Pulp_PressRelease_Post_1080x1350.png)     **Pulp Design Studios' Source List** - - **Tressa ottoman** — Fabricut — MC Studio — IHDC 2F140, 2F215-TS12 - **Boca bench** — Port 68 — IHDC 1D202 GL 96 - **Nasturtium accent table** — Currey & Company — IHDC 1D228 - **Chanell floor lamp** — Arteriors — TM 3301 - **Eclipse chandelier** — Regina Andrew — MC Studio — IHDC 2F140, 2F215-TS12 - **Salina collection rug** — Feizy — WTC 102, 114, 118 - **Gem Feathers wallcovering** — Jill Seale Design Studio — Coco & Dash — IHDC 1D106 - **Artwork (AT-03)** — Market Hill on 6 by Paul Michael — WTC 615 - **Black & White box (AC-02)** — GO Home — IHDC 1D425 - **Benin throne armchair** — Currey & Company — IHDC 1D228 Find these pieces and more across the Dallas Market Center campus, and follow along with the Design Ambassador Program throughout the year. **About Carolina V.
