FRIDAYfinds! – TRENDY FALL

 

I’m getting a taste of some of the great surprises that await!

 

Several trends are bubbling up that will guide the direction

of design for the coming year.

Some are familiar and lasting.

OTHERS ARE SO NEW THEY’RE NOT EVEN ON OUR RADAR YET!

 

Can you think of a more striking image than the Daedalus artwork above?

It’s made up of 3000 hand painted feathers arranged in concentric circles.

 

By itself, a feather is just a feather, 

but in aggregate a single feather becomes an integral

part of a powerful, dynamic whole.

 

We are going to see a lot more of this 

There’s something else going on that almost "defies" the nature trend.

Rather than emphasis on organic, it showcases the triumph of modern technology.

I’m talking about production capabilities that allow designers to dream the impossible.

No longer are furniture designs dictated by manufacturing constraints.

If the concept is there, it can be reproduced.

This beautiful yellow leather chair is a case in point.

Full of curves, it’s high style!

Yes, it’s still a "wing" chair, but not like the past.

Technology makes it possible to create this sinuous shape.

 

If you’ve kept up with my blog, 

you KNOW how much I love lighting!

 

I just couldn’t resist including this gorgeous piece

in my Fall lineup.

 

is here to stay.  It’s been around for a while

but…

"It just keeps getting better!"

 

Just when I think they’ve exhausted the creative think tank,

another beauty like this Sea Fan chandelier makes it’s debut.

 

Imagine seeing THIS as you walk through the front door!

Show stopper, for sure.

 

 

So much excitement is building around Fall Market

and I’m here to pass along the hottest trends that will be there.

 

There’s more to come so check back.

Happy Friday!
