The High Point Market Fall 2013

Style Report As the design destination that presents all of today’s inspirations in color, pattern, form, texture, and function, High Point defines style in home fashions. This year, our Fall Market Style Spotters searched our exhibitors’ showrooms to pick the looks to look for as we head into 2014. One vignette from the Bernhardt showroom, featured on our cover, seemed to capture more of today’s trends than any other.

Lisa Ferguson and Michelle Jennings Wiebe cited its masculine look in their menswear-inspired trends. Traci Zeller thought its use of color presaged a move to a softer sensibility, and Tobi Fairly noted its exemplary use of brass and wood. In the following pages, we are excited to show you the full scope of emerging styles selected by our trend-tracking experts.

Man

This “menswear goes global� trend translates the sharp dressed man into interiors. Sexy dark woods, plush hides, stitched leathers, houndstooth wovens, and necktie stripes are combined with ethnic touches and layered with textured shades of goldenrod, turquoise, green, garnet, or burnt orange. Tiny brass micro nails, smoke or bronze glass, button tufting, and shagreens can add moody embellishments to this

Brass Wood

The trend pendulum is swinging back to the classic, like the timeless combination of dark wood grain and softly glowing brass. Matte metal outlined a sleek block of wood in a manly and magnificent Bernhardt cocktail table. Century used brass as jewelry to accent their curvaceously stunning dining chair. At Pearson, bold brackets and an architectural base created a fantastic campaign approach.

HAIR ON HIDE

Younger Furniture Hair-on-hide isn’t new but it’s hotter than ever and showing up in some very unexpected places.

Bernhardt wrapped a chest in hair-on-hide for a completely new take on this medium. Lee Industries gave Serengeti a longer hairstyle in a stunning cream, with nailhead trim taking this luxury look to another dimension. We also loved the faux looks we saw, particularly the shearling showcaser at C.R. Laine.

Jadeite & Amethyst

Kindel Furniture Company

Purple is on an upswing in color trends and it’s showing best in a softer, amethyst shade combined with jadeite – not quite turquoise, not quite malachite – a milkier, lighter green. These quieter tones were showcased in the Alexa Hampton bedroom for Hickory Chair, the mid-century marvelous chair at Younger Furniture, and the gold-accented, pale lilac chest and mint green table pair in Kindel Furniture’s Dorothy Draper collection.

Personalization uses elements that can be configured one way, then another, as in the Wall Play collections at Gold Leaf and the metal honeycomb side tables at Noir.

Bernhardt, Noir and others made big

commitments to entire curated collections heavily influenced by polished, yet wearable menswear. An overarching sense of nostalgia was evident, lending a vintage feel to this trend. A refreshing sense of care and attention to detail came out in designs loaded with varied contrasting textures. Here, I see a huge opportunity to un-match collections and present

fresh perspectives.

Everyday Luxury An embrace of finding ways to make the experience of spending time at home luxurious and a treat, without being ostentatious in your dĂŠcor choices. Subtle sheen, luminous materials, a touch of luxe texture and chic details all are hallmarks of this look, especially when combined with more down-to-earth materials and classic design elements.

beauty in the organic, as opposed to the strictly man-made, is a welcome byproduct of our attempts to protect and nurture nature, and now seems to be evolving into an exalted, even glamorous, design direction.

Colors Now, the color infusion is no longer limited to accessories, but is showing up on upholstery and case goods. Emerald green remained strong, but other colors popular this Market were hot pink, cobalt blue, turquoise and orange. Look for more blue and green with deep rich red in the spring, along with bright, saturated pink, orange, turquoise and cobalt.

Jewelry for The Home

Lisa Mende

Current trends are proving the old adage that lighting is jewelry for the room. Designer Shannon Koszyk’s new chandeliers, sconces and lamps for Currey & Co. feature necklaces and medallions from her jewelry line. Ro-sham-Beaux showed lighting made from agate, gold chains, macrame and beads. This trend should hold strong into spring, as pieces that take lighting beyond brass chandeliers leave consumers wanting more.

Brass & Gold Are Back Gold and brass bring warmth, glamour and elegance to hardware, finishes and fabrics. One gold accent piece can update the whole room or an artfully placed touch of gold can dress up a piece like jewelry complimenting an outfit. Expect golden hues to continue rising in importance, as they add a luxe vibe no other material can provide.

With everyone trying to think “green” and feeling the pressure to decrease their carbon footprint, I’m not sure this trend will ever go out of style. Louise Gaskill’s beautiful chandeliers show how vintage materials can be used to create modern designs. The Heritage Collection for Stanley included 40 pieces from 1965-69, for a true mid-century feel that reinforced the importance of using Stanley Furniture

Fretwork Nailheads Two trends that aren’t going away any time soon are nailheads and fretwork. When applied in a pattern, nailheads can add interest to a piece that would otherwise be plain and perhaps overlooked. Fretwork designs make a bold statement and are often the focal point of an interior.

and aren’t limited to traditional or modern design styles.

Laquer &Gold

With the resurgence of Art Deco style, it’s no wonder we’re seeing lacquer adorn everything. This elegant, high-gloss finish provides a crossover from safe and traditional to daring and unexpected. If you haven’t noticed, brass and gold leaf have almost completely taken over. Designers are on the prowl for the latest and greatest gold pieces because this beautiful finish brings everything it touches to life!

Traci Zeller

Bright, bold, saturated colors and high gloss lacquers have captured attention in recent years, but a softer sensibility seems to be on the horizon.

Natural Glamour

Softer Sensibility Bernhardt

Wall coverings, upholstery, art, and accessories appeared in more subtle shades, gorgeously layered in hue and intensity. Water-based inks gave a certain transparency to beautifully colored, handblocked textiles. And wood took on color in luminous finishes that enhanced the beauty of the grain.

Alexis Walter Art

Natural elements in some of fall’s choicest products made glamour more relevant, satisfying the urban dweller’s need to connect with the outdoors. Hairon-hide, faux fur and shagreen added texture and dimension. An ombrÊ finish gave an antler-like appearance to elegantly shaped chair legs. Pyrite, agate and crystals punctuated lighting, accessories and accent tables, while pieced bone, shell and mother of pearl created shimmering patterns.
