Winter Whirlwind I write this month's column less than 24 hours after returning home from Atlanta and just a few days before heading off to Dallas, giving me and the rest of the HAT staff just a few short days to put out this issue, which is being handed out at the New York and Las Vegas markets. My head is spinning. Is yours? Now, the tight timing of this issue means that there is only one show completed for this winter season, but I have to say that by all indications, Atlanta was a blockbuster, and my sources are pretty unified in expecting the good news to keep coming as we head through the rest of this busy season. What's driving this upbeat attitude? Is it the fact that solid holiday shopping seasons have left stores out of stock and in need of a quick reload? Or the fact that despite buying heavily last winter, buyers and consumers backed off noticeably in the summer, so there's pent -up demand? Or is it the fact that the election and the fiscal cliff debacle are behind us (well, kind of)? Or, perhaps, the economy really is starting to improve? I suspect it's still too early to tell. As we all know, one good market does not a great show season make, so all eyes now move to Dallas, New York, Las Vegas and the regional shows to see how they play out over the next few weeks. The market centers have been working hard to improve showrooms, add interesting new vendors

and incentivize retailer attendance. Vendors, too, have stepped up to the plate with great products, showroom expansions and renovations, and market promotions.

It's now up to you -the retail community -to take the next step in investing in exciting new products again, marketing your businesses and tweaking them as needed in terms of store layout, merchandising, staffing and more. Then come up with innovative ways to bring the buying public along with you. Seems like it may be more doable now than it has been in several years. The Commerce Department reported that December was another strong month at retail, up .5% over November, which was 0.4% itself. Sales were up 4.7% from December 2011, for the entire 2012 period, were up 5.2 %. You've heard it from me in my last few columns

-the economic indicators continue to improve. It just feels to me like there's real traction out there. We're still riding through the mud, but it seems like the tires are starting to grip a little bit better A friend of mine in the industry once said to me that sometimes you don't know a recovery is coming until it's there. So, are we there yet?

fabulous fabric for stylish balance. Modern meets playful in the New York Dot rug, designed by Genevieve Gorder for Capel. Cast in a pretty peony colorway, the flat-woven wool rug gives a renewing, uplifting nod to spring. The new Circus Collection from Square Feathers is so downright cheerful and happy that it can't help but bring a smile to your face. An exuberant mix of hot pink, orange and lime, the true delight is in the pattern play of checkers, zebra and zig zag.

From the closet of Michelle Obama to the runway of Kate Spade, the fashion world is giving black and white a new identity. The tailored classic has now become cutting edge, accessorized with blocks and splashes of bright colors. Kate Spade and J. Crew in particular are the quintessential inspiration for this

look that's not afraid to change up a traditional "go -to' fashion staple. Spade's recent ad campaign highlights models decked out in black and white stripes with fuchsia or orange tights. And now the world of home decor is adapting this rhythmic trend in ways that are anything but boring. Attractive because it goes with everything, the basic black and white design scheme exudes city chic. From the lofts in Soho to the high-rise condos of LA, many are using black and white as the springboard for their design inspiration. With its daring drama and sleek simplicity, the look now goes a step further when one main color - like lemon zest, clementine, poppy red or emerald green - is chosen to blend in. Foreside embraces this growing trend with a number of perfect pieces including:

Peer power: What's in it for retail? AS PART OF ITS RECENTLY released "Things to Watch in 2013 Retail Report," marketing communications brand JWT discusses the growing strength of the peer-pow-

consumption possibilities facilitated by online connectivity and social networking. The WI-Intelligence report says the peer-powered economy, which dates back to the beginning of networks like eBay and Napster, "is about to reach critical mass," and suggests businesses might want to take a closer look at the new behaviors and expectations peer-to-peer (P2P) commerce is creating among consumers. A year ago, CBS financial contributor Carmen Wong Ulrich described P2P marketing to morning host Gayle King as advertising your sale items or services in the online community, much like distributing a paper flyer in the neighborhood for dog walking services. Ulrich talked about P2P players like AirBnB.com, a nationwide side that bypasses the rental agent and puts homeowners and potential vacation renters directly in touch with each other; and car-sharing sites GetAround.com and Relay Rides.com, where you can rent your car or someone else's car by the hour Of course, user reviews, insurance requirements, background info, maintenance, credit cards and Paypal all figure into the equation, but there appears to be a growing audience for, and some pretty creative applications of, these informal marketplaces and transactions. Two recently launched P2P sites, for example, are not only taking the dining experience out of the restaurant and into the home, but they're touting it as a way to grow your reallife circle of friends. A mobile app called SupperKing, according to its website, "empowers individuals to display their culinary skills, share their dinner table or find a home-cooked meal in their neighborhood, transforming the typical solitary city dining experience and encouraging urban citizens to share resources and build community." Another site, EatFeastly.com, says it "democratizes dining" by matching hungry eaters with passionate cooks, who offer "authentic meals prepared and served in a cook's home." Funding and lending site SmallKnot.com, launched last summer; invites locals to support the small businesses in their communities by providing funds for specific projects a new pizza oven, patio or display counter; for example in exchange for goods, services, perks or other benefits. BlaBlaCatcom, operating in nine European countries, matches paying passengers with seats in cars, offering a new, affordable way to tour Europe. The best part is that riders can

While many of the newer P2P sites are based in larger cities and metropolitan areas, the "transforming" potential of peer-powered marketing is getting a lot of attention. Last month, in an article for The National, London journalist David Mattin said sites like SupperKing and AirBnB are part of "a broader move towards a peer-to-peer economy that

represents the start of a historic shift -from formal commercial enterprise -in the way we consume and the way we live." When it comes to the application of P2P concepts to mail, the JWT report says we can look for established brands to "strike partnerships with fledgling peer-to-peer services as a way to infuse freshness or modernity into their persona, broaden their appeal or get an existing consumer segment to consider the brand in a new light." JWT notes the examples of Gap and Pepsi Next, which recently did product promotions with the help of TaskRabbitcom, a P2P site where users can "bid" on odd jobs or outsource tasks as varied as photography assignments, giftwrapping, helping someone move, data entry, furniture delivery and assembly, surveying customers, procuring reservations at a hot restaurant and, in one recent listing, helping someone find the cell phone he left in the back of a Washington, D.G, cab. Think of it as the P2P version of temporary employment placement. Online apparel retailer Karmaloop earned a spot on Internet Retailer's Top 500 last year for its peer-powered sales force. In 2011, Internet Retailer reported, more than a quarter of Karmaloop's.sales came from its social network of 96,500 "representatives" that promote Kan

maloop in exchange for merchandise: "Any consumer can sign up to be a representative on the retailer's website. After a rep signs up, he receives a unique promo code that he can share on social networks like Facebook and Twitter; as well as on blogs, message boards or flyers he can hand out. When a consumer enters the code on the retailer's site he receives a 20% discount the first time he uses it and 10% off thereafter For each purchase made using his code the rep receives points, which can be redeemed for Karmaloop merchandise." JWT cites Swedishome.com, Ikea's secondhand furniture selling site, as an example of a brand facilitating P2P's "connect and share" impulse. While it might not help sales of new Ikea products, Ikea is "inserting its brand into a process that would likely take place regardless." Whether or not brands partner with P2P services or add P2P elements, JWT says, the P2P model can suggest new, more innovative approaches: Are there ways to take inspiration from the things consumers like most about P2P services? And are there ways to leverage digital technologies designed to match supply with demand, consumers' rising trust of strangers and proclivity for sharing, micro-entrepreneurs and so forth in order to better cater to consumers or market existing services? P2P is but one concept in a brave new retail world, something PH explore further next month in a special report, "The Future of Retail." To that end, I'm calling upon the power of my peers.

Timeworks in 2011. With this acquisition came a brand known for innovation in clocks. This year the company is unveiling a range of new Timeworks clocks, following the success last year of the Warehouse Clock with Grill. "The clock has a hand forged steel grill over the aged ivory face," Cooper explains. "At first I thought it was a long shot, but it's now one of our best sellers." Another pleasant surprise has been Teulada, an antique door with a mirror in the top panel, which has also become a top performer. Reflecting on the category of wall décor in 2012, Cooper says that even in a challenging economy, the importance of being fashion forward and taking design risks was critical. "It's not always easy to hit a home run, but there's plenty of opportunity to succeed," Cooper concludes. "We see another year of solid growth for the category in 2013."

STYLECRAFT DISTINGUISHES WALL DECOR THROUGH HIGH STYLE, GREAT VALUE The winning combination of high end design and unparalleled value continues to distinguish the wall décor offerings from StyleCraft Home Collection. The newest wall décor assortment is collectively a celebration of nature by using a richness of organic earth tones in an array of new products. "Color is the biggest trend in framed wall art, and StyleCraft has enthusiastically embraced it," explains designer Mark Hendren. "We have tweaked our color palette for 2013 with tones such as pumpkin, lime green and what we refer to as the peacock colors. This trend, along with the use of natural materials such as spun bamboo and recycled items, is highlighted across our complete presentation, from traditional to transitional and industrial chic." Last year StyleCraft experimented with beautiful in -house dyed natural woods that were met with success, so the company continues to source natural materials that can be implemented into the _ wall décor line. "We continually strive to upgrade our pieces and take the look

a great creative environment that enables us to really do our best work." Leath adds that the move to this 178,500 sq. ft. facility has also made the firm more efficient throughout all of its operations. "What sets StyleCraft apart is the fact that our wall décor line is so diverse," Leath goes on to say. "We feed both the traditional and contemporary markets with a great assortment of product, all at a strong price point. This value based product assortment at an intensely competitive price generates a lot of traffic in our showrooms." Licensing remains a significant area of growth for StyleCraft, as it highlights both the elegant styles of Jane Seymour as well as the striking three -dimensional metal wall art of California artist BJ Keith.

"One of her pieces -a pair of trees - has been the number one metal wall décor item for the past two years," Leath says. "BJ's work continues to sell steadily."

"Our style for value ratio is our strength," Hendren adds. "We con-

up a notch," says Hendren. This includes great emphasis on product de-

continue to fuel interest in the category, he maintains. "When I started in this business nearly 40 years ago, not many people were aware of design. Now everyone is much more interested in style and design, and as a result, they look for fresh, new exciting product on a regular basis," says

As Director of Advertising and Media J. Rodney Leath explains, there's

COOPER CLASSICS GIVES NEW LIFE TO UNIQUE ARRAY Of MATERIALS Cooper Classics is giving new life to everyday throwaways such as magazines, rubber tires and license plates and transforming them into distinctive wall décor products.

This trend continues for 2013, as the category remains the company's largest growing product segment. Led by the success of such unique items as the Wellesley and Winfield mirrors, Cooper Classics is drawing inspiration from new and exciting sources. Made in Indonesia from recycled magazines, Wellesley is both colorful and distinctive. Also made in Indonesia, Winfield is constructed from recycled tires. As the company's national accounts manager Melissa Whitaker reports, both have been bestsellers. Another standout has been the Hildale clock, distinguished by the old license plates used to construct the striking face of the piece, and the Marguerite mirrors, a set of four frameless mirrors with a contemporary silver finish. "We want to continue to build

on the success that we have had over the past few years by increasing the number of SKUs

offered in each product segment," Whitaker explains. Cooper Classics prides itself

on introducing a wide range of wall décor, featuring traditional, transitional and con-

temporary styling. Reflecting

the current consumer trend, the company is putting more emphasis on transitional and contemporary in its new introductions, which total more than 75 items at each market. "The majority of these

products will be mirrors and Whitaker explains. "Our focus is on unique items clocks,"

HOWARD ELLIOTT ADAPTS LATEST TRENDS Company branches out to add diversity and drama to wall décor Howard Elliott's fashion forward presentation for 2013 focuses heavily on contemporary, art deco design. Large statement pieces in beautiful colored glass and other new mediums are just a few of the things we have to look forward to from the company. "We are introducing a number of pieces that combine colored glass on mirrors with and without stainless steel borders," explains company president Brian Berk. "The stainless steel offers that art deco glam look that resonates with today's customers." Howard Elliott's broad product assortment doesn't stop there. At the opposite end of the design spectrum is a series of mirrors that present a more Old World rustic look, as well as some French reproductions that showcase traditional gold leaf finishes. Additionally the company will introduce a collection that artistically combines Indian and Moroccan influences. Also prominent will be large, statement pieces that can be used in a variety of ways, but Howard Elliott remains cognizant of the price factor. "We try to focus on the oversized and dramatic, but not lose sight of what the average consumer is looking for," Berk says. The larger pieces are also perfect for the firm's growing hospitality market. You can find Howard Elliott mirrors in many premier hotels and resorts across the country. As Howard Elliott continues to find ways to broaden its product

assortment, alternative wall art is also taking center stage this year. There's a collection of 12 abstract designs that showcase the beauty of handcraftsmanship. One piece uses actual stainless steel coins that are mounted in an artistic, abstract fashion; another embodies the delicate hand worked technique of origami. "This is a really interesting collection, and one that we're very excited about," Berk says. In striving for versatility, the company is also taking its complementary accessory categories such as tabletop and ceramics and is reworking them into wall décor. So far items like ceramic chargers and figurines have been the focus, but Berk expects this initiative to expand. "This enables people to get multiple uses out of a single product," he says adding: "It would not be unheard of to see ceramic turtles or salamanders crawling up the walls in our showrooms this market season!" Last year marked a continuing shift in purchasing away from

traditional furniture stores to e- commerce, catalog and direct to consumer channels. Berk explains, "Because the distribution channels are changing, when we introduce new product we must be mindful of new ways to get products to the market, and where those markets are." Prospects for growth in 2013 appear to be very promising. "We are on the cusp of the housing market showing some significant growth, and at the same time a population of consumers aged 18 -33 demonstrating new purchasing habits and trends," he continues. "The international community is also becoming a major presence at the markets we serve on a more regular basis. "I am excited by the evolution of Howard Elliott for 2013," Berk "Product concludes. wise, I feel, we are on the right page to not only

wow people and stop them in the halls, but also to cater the everyday business as well."

IMAGINATION MIRRORS HIGHLIGHTS NEW ANTIQUE WHITE FINISH

(

A collection of 20 products that highlight a new antique white finish is the headline attraction from Imagination Mirrors this year. These new pieces capture the beauty of the decorative wood frames, exposing the rich, hand carving detail. According to director of operations Sameer Patel, these new mirrors address customer demand for both distressed -looking product and lighter finishes.

Sizes are impressive, varying from 4 ft. wide to up to 8 ft. long. As Patel explains, this continues a strong trend from last

year, where large, oversized mirrors captured much of the market attention. "Right now we're seeing interest in large, 6x8 ft. frames," he says.

.:\

Imagination Mirrors is also offering a new binder style catalog for the first time, in addition to its existing digital version. "Now each mirror has its own page, continually

keeping the catalog fresh for customers. As we increase our line we will publish page supplements that can be easily added to the binder," Patel adds. "Our company is known for providing the largest selection of oversized frame mirrors in the market," he explains. "We continue to make our mark with high end, solid wood frames, a steady introduction of new hand finishes and exceptional customer service." Patel concludes: "We anticipate an increase for the first quarter, as inventories are low and customers are looking to revamp their mirror assortments."

PROPAC BRINGS ARTWORK Of TRAILBLAZER VERA NEUMANN TO LIFE Propac Images is celebrating 2013 with a number of significant developments, starting with the exciting launch of the artwork of legendary American artist Vera Neumann. Under license from The Vera Company, the vintage collection reflects Verá s philosophy that fine art should surround every aspect of people's lives - and be accessible to everyone. Known for her bold use of color and brilliant designs, Vera was a trailblazer who paved the way for the likes of Martha Stewart and Liz Claiborne. As the first artist to cross -license her work into bedding, tabletop, textiles and more, Vera was also one of the most successful female entrepreneurs of her time, building a $100+ million brand during the 1970's. Neumann passed away in 1993. This new collection is part of Propac's impressive 300 -SKU introduction that also includes trendy Ikat and Suzani patterns under glass, as well as a diverse assortment of modern and traditional glassed and non -glassed items.

The complete presentation was unveiled in the company's first permanent Atlanta showroom during the recent winter market. Propac and its sister company Paragon now have side -by -side flagship showrooms on the 12th floor of Building 1. "We look for increased exposure, as the showroom will be open on a daily basis," said Propac president Vince Glassco. "This will allow for more opportunities for us to work with the area's residential and hospitality designers on a wide range of projects." The company also has eight new sales reps in the Southeast and one new sales rep for Southern Ohio. Vice -president of sales Samantha Floyd says, "We have the right people in the right places to grow sales." She adds that 2012 was a good year for both Propac and its customers. "Many of them are taking the opportunity to expand their current square footage, and purchase, lease or build additional space in order to feature a greater number of products," Floyd says. "We are confident the home décor industry will continue to grow in 2013." For more information, please visit www.propacimages.com.

The color white and curved shapes are predominant in the new store's design, which was conceived in collaboration with acclaimed Spanish designer Jaime Hayon.

David Bromstad

Supernova BY SUSAN DICKENSON DESIGNER, ARTIST AND HGTV

and greeted guests in the Thirstystone showroom, where his new line of barware debuted.

OF'

personality David Bromstad began his

creative career in Florida, first attending school at the Ring ling School of Art and Design in Sarasota and later conceiving and executing installations for Walt Disney World. In 2006, his career blasted off in a variety of directions when he won a reality design competition and became known as HGTV's first "Design Star." "I entered the design business totally by chance," he said. "I am an artist by trade and started my career working for Disney. After Disney, I began my own business designing kids' bedrooms. A friend informed me about a casting for the first Design Star show and I applied. Never did I

think I would actually win, but I did."

What television shows are you involved with - past and present? I've been a host and/or designer on Color Splash, White Room Challenge, HGTV'd, Design Star and Design Star

All Stars. And I'm currently working on a new show that I can't discuss yet.

How much of your time is spent on interior design projects, and how much on your artwork? I am involved

"I entered the design business totally by chance. I am an artist by trade and started my career working for Disney." - DAVID BROMSTAD

The grand prize was a car, and the chance to host his own television show. HGTV's Color Splash with David Bromstad debuted in March 2007, featuring lively transformations of tired rooms into vibrant spaces, each project topped off with a custom painting created specifically for the client. In May 2011, he signed with Penny Lane Publishing to bring a selection of canvas giclees of his paintings to consumers. A few months later, he announced a partnership with textiles manufacturer 1888 Mills for a top-ofbed collection, reflecting some of his colorful, bold graphics and contemporary designs. "When 'looking for design partners, David was an easy choice," 1888 Mills' marketing and design VP Lexi Schladenhauffen said at the time. "His style is something that is currently missing in home today. It is fresh, bright and speaks to the up and coming consumer that retailers are trying so hard to capture. David's design style partnered with his charismatic personality make him an ideal style icon for the home. Everyone wants a little piece of David's energy in their home." Home Accents Today caught up with Bromstad last month at Americasmart Atlanta, where he spoke to market attendees about "The Power of Color"
