April 13, 2011 By Trend Staff -

Trend Flash is exclusively for subscribers to The Trend Curve™ newsletter (i.e., Members) with immediate updates from each market and trade show we cover worldwide.

For even more from this show, read the next issue of The Trend Curve.

Of note for Tabletop products:

COLOR:

– Taupe was up-and-coming
– Gray tones were also spotted
– Soft pastel shades emerged
– Lavender and Purple hues hung on
– The market deepened its commitment to Blue

TEXTURE and FORM:
– Matte/bisque/velvet finishes showed a preference for matte textures
– They looked great when paired with a gloss
– Raised patterns, especially on white dinnerware, had fascinating textures
– Unique shapes did not back off
– Neither did squares

MOTIFS and THEMES:
– Traditional and archival patterns were modernized
– Garden themes prevailed
– Bold graphics had plenty of support
