Trend Flash™ Maison & Objet Sept. 2013

September 9, 2013 By Trend Staff -

m&o-2013Trend Flash™ provides instant updates from markets and trade shows around the globe. This edition covers the Maison & Objet 9/13 trade fair. Editorial Director, Michelle Lamb filed this Trend Flash for our Members (also see Michelle’s Member’s Only post about the Trend Exhibit).

Noteworthy in Paris:

COLOR

  • Browns came out in force
  • So did greens that can answer to olive or bottle
  • They were just two of a plethora of new greens
  • Peacock persisted, looking new when paired with …
  • …dark reds that are still on the incoming list
  • Yellows and golds did not let up
  • The black trend was key in multiple materials

MATERIALS AND TEXTURES

  • Warmth was directional for metals, especially gold, copper
  • Marble had so much more to say
  • Concrete took on new personalities
  • Companies bragged about using American walnut
  • The newest natural-wood finishes had a light layer of red
  • Tweedy weaves ramped up

MOTIFS AND PATTERNS

  • Diamonds continued with optic sensibilities
  • Photo looks had lots of play
  • Imperfect lines, drizzles and splotches made a statement
  • Layering took on new dimension
  • Nordic elements were on-trend, not just for winter
  • Comic-book references brought new energy to products
