Trend Flash™ – Maison & Objet January 2017

January 25, 2017 By Steve Borsch -

Notable at Maison & Objet 1/17:

COLOR

  • Browns had myriad values and personalities
  • Saffron emerged
  • Seventies-inspired color combinations kept appearing
  • Black declined
  • Neon accents popped up in stands with decorative accessories

MATERIALS AND TEXTURES

  • Marble maintained trend status as its character evolved
  • Glass embraced unexpected looks, sometimes mimicking stone
  • Velvet topped fabric choices, but velour emerged
  • Gold dominated metals and metallic
  • However, it still made room for emerging bronze
  • 3-D surface effects got more creative and livable
  • Piecing looked fresh in new personalities

MOTIFS AND THEMES

  • Directionally, patterns got looser, softer and less predictable
  • This look ate away at geometry’s lead
  • Entomology began another trend cycle
  • So did faces
  • 1920s influences had more to say
  • A potting-shed theme felt fresher than farm-to table
