Trend Flash™ New York Tabletop – October 2011

October 27, 2011 By Trend Staff -

Trend Flash is exclusively for members in The Trend Curve™ subscriber family with immediate updates from each market and trade show we cover worldwide. Michelle Lamb, Editorial Director for The Trend Curve, is in NY for the semi-annual Tabletop market. Her top-line trends are below. The next issue of The Trend Curve will have even more details about the color and design trends at this semi-annual event.

Notable in NY:

COLOR

  • Peacock was still growing
  • So was gray
  • Taupe edged up
  • Pink got feature status in key showrooms
  • Lighter values, from pastel to mid-tone, stood out
  • Black looked even more sophisticated than before

TEXTURES AND MATERIALS

  • Everything from hammered to thumb-print textures added value to dinnerware
  • Crystal gravitated toward more cuts, not less
  • Mica felt like a mainstream choice
  • Platinum ruled dinnerware, but it was clear that gold was trying to grow
  • Copper looks were on-trend for accessories
  • Mother of pearl had so much more visibility

MOTIFS AND THEMES

  • Lace looks confirmed this category’s commitment to the bridal business
  • Toiles had more exposure
  • Dots took on new personalities
  • Birds with long tail feathers became just as relevant as songbirds
  • Watercolor techniques updated florals
  • Asian themes grew in anticipation of the 2012 year of the dragon
