Trend Flash™ – New York Tabletop Market

April 12, 2018 By Trend Staff -

Trend Flash is one of many exclusive benefits for Members of The Trend Curve’s subscriber family. Caroline Kennedy, Editorial Correspondent, is in New York for the twice-yearly Tabletop market. Her top Trends are below. Look for more of Caroline’s trend observations in the next issue of The Trend Curve.

Read the next issue of The Trend Curve for even more detail, and follow us on Twitter (@trendcurve) and Instagram (@trendcurve) for additional updates. Notable in New York:

COLOR

  • Blue, especially in mid-tone to darker hues, remained a dominant and popular staple
  • Gray, including dark graphite, remained strong
  • Pink blush tones looked sweet in glass
  • Green emerged like spring, favoring the mid-tone range
  • Cranberry or silvery gray on white was strong for the holidays

MATERIALS AND TEXTURES

  • Reactive glazes did not back down
  • Matte surfaces added contrast against glossy glazes
  • Surfaces were replete with tactile elements
  • Wood added elegance to entertaining and serveware
  • Easier-care stainless steel went beyond flatware
  • Mixed material created interest: wood and resin, wood and metal, metal and ceramic

ICONS AND PATTERNS

  • Geometric designs favored graphic looks
  • Organic shapes contrasted with traditional, formal
  • Tropical florals brought a fresh flavor and rich color
  • Tone-on-tone monochromatic looks we’re enganced with texture and glazing
  • Holiday intros added fun and whimsy to the table
