Trend Flash™ New York Tabletop Market, April 2010

April 18, 2010 By Trend Staff -

Trend Flash™ emails are sent exclusively to The Trend Curve™ members with immediate updates from markets and trade shows around the globe. Michelle Lamb, Editorial Director of The Trend Curve, was in New York City for the semi-annual Tabletop market. Her top-line trends are below. For more details about this event, read the next issue of The Trend Curve.

Most important:

COLOR

–  Major introductions revolved around Purple
–  Blues had more roles, even pale ones
–  So did Brown-based neutrals
–  Grays continued with less exposure
–  Platinum had more visibility than Gold metallic
–  Pastel Pink kept popping up

TEXTURE AND FORM

–  Texture led newness
–  Textiles inspired both textures and patterns
–  Pearl and iridescent finishes continued
–  Uneven edges and rims looked trend-right
–  Hard squares had lots of new support at volume levels
–  Champagne saucers suggested an incoming Vintage theme

MOTIFS AND THEMES

–  Lots of companies played with geometry
–  The newest flowers looked more romantic than ever
–  Small dots leapt ahead
–  So did very thin lines
–  Growing positive/negative techniques did not treat patterns literally
–  Retro looked right for Christmas tableware
