Sustainable, Intentional Design
Brightmark Headquarters
A Waste-Free Workspace
Tasked to redesign the office space for waste solutions organization Brightmark, Arcsine wove together eco-forward materials and elements that echo the company’s unwavering dedication to a sustainable and waste-free environment.
Founded in 2016 by a group of engineers passionate for a more sustainable world, Brightmark brings together engineering and innovative waste technology to tackle some of the planet’s most pressing waste challenges. Featuring over 14,000 square feet in a historic mill building, the office blurs the line between a waste solutions company and a lush, carefully tended garden, as seen with the abundant variety of mixed greenery, live walls, and creative water elements.

Living Moss
Brightmark’s eye-catching “green moss” wall immediately greets employees and guests, establishing a vivid yet soothing sight that stamps the office as a living, breathing space. Created by HYDRA and handmade in Italy, the green wall features decorative moss technology—using 100% real moss—with Brightmark’s leaf logo front and center.

A Greener, Low-Waste Future
Committed to sourcing not only renewable and low-emitting products, but those with an ethical business model, Arcsine intentionally sourced sustainable materials from certified B Corp organizations. In the conference room as well as other areas in the office, Arcsine focused on bringing together eco-forward elements, including MAS Certified Green live-edge tables made from low-emitting materials, Camira fabrics made from recycled plastics found in the ocean, countertops made from 100% recycled paper, and sit-stand desks made with fir reclaimed from construction projects, old mills, and whiskey stills. Overall, Brightmark’s office does not just function as a place where people work—the space serves as a physical representation of the company’s mission of creating a greener, low-waste future for all.
