mo-1-13Trend Flash is exclusively for members of The Trend Curve™ subscriber family with immediate updates from markets and trade shows around the globe. Michelle Lamb, Editorial Director for The Trend Curve, is in Paris for the Maison & Objet fair. Her top-trend observations are below. 

COLOR

  •  Pastels and light mid-tones looked fresher than declining brights
  •  Blush tones began to peek out
  •  While N. America clings to warmth, red casts were the norm for blue in Paris
  •  Minty greens added to their following
  •  Yellow got a foothold
  •  Mauve and lilac meant more

MATERIALS AND FINISHES

  •  A revival of exotic species was led by rosewood
  •  Light wood finishes enjoyed the most exposure
  •  Lacquer had trend-forward status
  •  Warmth signatured metals and metallics, even platinum
  •  Velvet remained a top choice
  •  Building satin looks advanced the cause of glamour

PATTERNS AND STYLES

  •  Gradients, tie-dyes, watercolor effects worked in myriad applications
  •  Full, 1920’s-inspired florals emerged
  •  Geometry impacted shape, as well as pattern
  •  Asian themes were further developed
  •  Tropical looks expanded
  •  African themes kept popping up
