Michelle Lamb, Editorial Director, attended Chicago’s Casual Show and filed this update:

COLOR

  • Black-and-white duos made everything feel contemporary
  • There was an uptick in white finishes
  • Denim-influenced blues saturated the market
  • They often stepped in for aqua, which declined
  • Greens had more visibility
  • So did pastel values

MATERIALS AND TEXTURES

  • Mixed-media combinations got more creative
  • Round, tubular forms updated metal
  • Open weaves made seating look even more casual
  • Twisted weaves showed up more often
  • Gloss/matte contrast meant more
  • Gold metallic continued to grow

FEATURES

  • Shape was in play more than ever
  • Newest direction: sharp angles
  • They came along with a surge for true contemporary style
  • Swivel showed up for the first time on a chaise
  • Dual-chaise configurations advanced
  • Fire was unstoppable
