As we were going to press, the International Housewares Association had just released its 2023 Occasions Report, to highlight opportunities in the home and housewares industr y for personal, family and friend celebrations As consumers figure out how to approach changes in their lives, retailers and suppliers can engage and follow them through milestones, according to the IHA I could relate to the sur vey when it came to weddings that were postponed during the pandemic. My nephew, Andy, proposed to his longtime gir lfriend, Marriah, before the pandemic Andy and I have been c lose since even before he was born, as I attended birth c lasses with my sister when she was pregnant with him I was there when he was born and through all the milestones in his life He chose a life partner well, as I love Marriah and her daughter, Tar yn, as much as family Andy and Marriah were in no rush to get married, plus it became c lear during the pandemic that a relative with immunity issues wouldn’t be able to attend They wanted to wait until it was safe for him to attend Now, the time has come and they ’ re in active wedding planning mode (and I get to help!) I haven’t looked for ward more to a wedding than this I’m stocking up on tissue paper already According to the I HA sur vey, though, the number of people expecting to attend a wedding in the next year has dec lined, for several reasons The Wedding Report research expects a major rebound from fewer weddings in 2020 and years before the pandemic, however, with a slight boost in 2023 and retur n to pre vious numbers in following years The good news is that while postponed weddings have dec lined, opportunities to give homeware and houseware exists

One af ter-effect from the pandemic is that lockdowns brought engaged couples together, so they nested and of ten bought products that normally might be given as wedding presents

So, while the weddings this year might not resemble the normal timeline of engagement, engagement party, bridal party, wedding and reception, the IHA sur vey conc luded that non-traditional 2023 weddings still bring opportunities The average U S wedding cost more than $27,000 in 2021, according to the repor t. W ith the

p a n d e m i c a n d i n f l a t i on , c o u p l e s a re l o ok i n g f o r l e s s e l a b o r a t e

ceremonies and receptions That ’ s certainly the case with my nephew and his fiance W hen he asked if I knew of a small venue suitable to hold their wedding, I was able to secure an historic adobe building at no cost to them They can decorate it however much they want and it ’ s got a small kitchen, too, for the reception W hile I’m giving them a vintage set of British transfer ware as an engagement present, I’m still planning to buy them wedding presents and I expect their other guests will, too

The sur vey noted gif ting attitudes among 18- to 34-year-olds, a segment my nephew and his fiance fall into These young people of ten have more in common with each other than their fellow Gen Zers or Millennials, which makes their shopping behaviors important It turns out this group is enthusiastic about buying housewares In almost ever y categor y, 18- to 34-year-olds were at or near the top in terms of wanting to buy for key occ asions “ This makes sense, ” according to the sur vey, “ as many key life occasions – leaving for college, engagement, bridal showers, weddings and baby showers –tend to take place within this age range This age group is generally the most active in terms of changes in their lives that tend to require home + housewares product acquisition.”

The IHA sur vey reminds retailers and suppliers that the popularity of houseware products for designated occasions also are suitable for “anytime moments,” when gif ting is done spontaneously outside of a holiday or event That reminds me of a time a few months ago, when I was at an event and spotted a pink stuffed animal for my soon-to-be great niece, Tar yn She and her mother loved that I didn’t wait for an occasion to give it to her I just thought of her and wanted to buy it for her W hen she’s older, I’ ll get her housewares!

An ocean away, wool carpets of the Luoghi collection by G T Design, inspired by surfaces aged over time, premiered at Milan Design Week, but it might as well have been Milan Fashion Week bec ause the hand-painted, ultra-light carpets took inspiration from a stylish detail: a pocket

Creating a pocket in a carpet is a choice charged with meaning: the pocket represents a space to store and protect what we want to take with us, what makes the place we inhabit our own, according to designer Deanna Comellini

Textile design is one of the oldest known technologies for sheltering h u m a n b e i n g s w h e n l i v i n g w a s nomadic and inevitably linked to the cyc les of nature For this ver y reason, it was characterized more by communit y ties and relations with the surrounding environment t h a n by a phy s i c a l b u i l d i n g. To inhabit it means to make it one ’ s own in a stable way, to establish a r ad i c a l re l a t i on s h i p w i t h i t , Comellini said

The wool carpets of the Luoghi c o l l e c t i on by G T D e s i g n a re inspired by surfaces aged by time, bringing an element of the past – a v i n t a ge t o u c h – i n t o t h e m o s t

The hand-stitched seams and modularity of the individual elements help the designer shape these textile paintings Luoghi carpets combine elegance and functionality to create distinctive atmospheres in any room

The four basic colors – Selve, Oasi, Borghi a n d G ro t t e – a s we l l a s t h e c o l o r o f t h e stitching, can be custom combined and the carpets can be produced in any size

In a hectic and conflictual world, the carpet once again becomes the connection between man and the Earth, the root of the practice of living, Comellini said KN
