Trend Flash™ – NeoCon

June 16, 2017 By Trend Staff -

Trend Flash comes exclusively to Members of The Trend Curve’s subscriber family. Julie Smith Vincenti, Editorial Correspondent, is in Chicago for the annual NeoCon event. Her top trends are below. Look for more extensive coverage of trends at NeoCon in the next issue of The Trend Curve.

COLOR

  • Green was a leading color family
  • Red-cast orange made a statement, along with raspberry reds
  • Yellow faded, while citron emerged
  • Mellow melon hues and soft pinks proved tempting
  • Denim blues a won where contract-residential crossover was most pronounced

PATTERN

  • Grid-based patterns dominated fabrics and flooring
  • Abstract symbols referenced encryption and computer code
  • Complex quilted treatments made lounge/modular seating feel homey
  • Origami inspiration scored big in fabric debuts
  • Street art and graffiti patterns lent an edge to upholstery fabric launches

BUZZ WORDS and NEW NORMS

  • Mantra 2017: “Wellness in the workplace”
  • Stand at attention: Height-adjustable work surfaces for all, from C-suite to benching
  • Achieving equilibrium: Floor plans balanced collaborative spaces and individual stations in equal measure
  • Storage solutions evolved as paperless offices prevail
  • Collaborative spaces “framed in” by lighting and canopy-like structures
