The Autumn edition of the 2012 Maison & Objet Trade Fair in Paris showed a much more focused and intentional approach to newness. Color was absolutely key to this effort. And, in spite of the financial instability in Europe, patterns, materials and form took some surprising steps forward! Here are a few highlights from this trend-setting trade fair:
– Cool greens were directional
– Pinks showed unexpected potential for the future
– Linen took a step back
– Wood finishes explored their lighter side
– 1970s-80s looks stepped up
