MATERIALS AND TEXTURES

THEMES AND MOTIFS

  • Parisian glam, with hand-sketched fashion silhouettes, emerged
  • Representational marbleized designs felt natural and peaceful
  • Small-scale, symmetrical geometric repeats covered tabletop items
  • Tribal geometrics signaled a comeback
  • Malachite patterns completed a trend triple play (color, material, surface design)
