Trend Flash™ – High Point Furniture Market

April 13, 2018 By Trend Staff -

Trend Flash is one of many exclusive benefits for Members of The Trend Curve’s subscriber family. Michelle Lamb, Editorial Director, is in High Point for the twice-yearly furniture market. Her top Trends are below. Look for more of Michelle’s trend observations in the next issue of The Trend Curve.

  • Springy greens freshened everything
  • The blue family remained faithful to petrol and peacock
  • Still, complex-yet-red-cast mid-tones kept repeating
  • Black’s presence deepened
  • Chocolate emerged

MATERIALS

  • Vendors searched for, and found, even more unusual materials
  • Charred wood looks emerged at the high end
  • Lacquer was highlighted in multiple showrooms
  • Iron meant more than it has in years, especially when hammered
  • Shagreen got even stronger

MOTIFS AND STYLES

  • Abstract geometry took off
  • Marbleized patterns emerged in strength
  • Oversized florals continued to build
  • Art Deco elements notched another gain
  • Neo-traditional took on Neoclassical overtones
  • Asian elements got modernized or leaned toward whimsy
