Trend Flash is an exclusive benefit for Members of The Trend Curve’s subscriber family, providing instant updates from markets and trade fairs around the globe.

Michelle Lamb, Editorial Director for The Trend Curve, is in New York for ICFF, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair. Her top trends are below:

TECHNIQUES

  • Bent wood looks took off
  • So many pieces came with interesting inlays
  • Mixed media combinations did not slow down
  • Opportunities to diffuse light reduced the harsh effects of pendants
  • Curved lines looked better than ongoing geometric abstractions
  • Dimensional effects created a one-of-a-kind look

COLOR

  • Pastel values persisted
  • Pink had unexpected strength
  • Rose began a comeback
  • Warm greens stood out in medium values
  • So did warm blues (think aqua)
  • Yellow could not be ignored, especially with green overtones

MATERIALS

  • Oak advanced in visual display, but…
  • …vendors confirmed walnut as the bestselling wood
  • Marble was stronger than ever
  • Brass advanced
  • Black glass stepped up
