Trend Flash™ ICFF

May 19, 2014 By Trend Staff -

icffVicki Lederman, Editorial Correspondent, is in NY for the International Contemporary Furniture Fair. Her top-line trends from this annual event are below. Look for more details in the June issue of The Trend Curve.

Notable in New York:

COLOR

  • Black was prevalent
  • Soft, mid-tone gray dominated upholstery, providing a neutral backdrop
  • Pinks ranged from soft and muted to vibrant and blue-cast
  • Turquoise toned down
  • Yellow, while less intense, was still light and strong
  • Red, too, looked muted while remaining clean

MATERIALS AND TEXTURES

  • Ash, either light or stained black, led mainstream wood choices
  • Natural walnut was the elegant wood choice
  • Solid-color laminates added color to wood cases
  • Brushed, bronzy brass made a metals statement
  • Pinpoint LEDs, embedded in wallcoverings, adorned like small crystals
  • Concrete asked for more attention
  • Agate, polished stones, marble made luxurious materials and pattern inspiration

MOTIFS AND THEMES

  • Shape and structure trumped 2D pattern and surface decor
  • Wallcoverings, however, were literally works of art — and a major statement
  • Rorschach-inkblot wall-covering designs looked contemporary, lush, and elegant
  • Floral and plant motifs, layered over abstract textures, created a sense of depth
  • Digital printing made anything possible, including customization
