Style Report

Front Cover: Four Hands

Inside Cover: Chaddock

Those of us in the design and furnishings

industries devotedly look forward to

High Point Market twice each year.

To me, it’s the best market (in the

world!), and I’m never disappointed.

I am continually refreshed with new

design inspiration and creativity, and

I leave as a better interior designer and business owner.

Market is definitely a must see, must do event!

Over the past several years, I have been asked to help select,

and then lead the Style Spotters, eight dynamic tastemakers

who are tasked with identifying the best items and trends

at each Market. As you will see, the talented 2016 team has

provided great selections of the hottest objects. So please,

get comfortable, sit back and enjoy their review.

Looking forward to seeing you at Spring 2017

High Point Market, April 22-26.

Diamond patterns are timeless. They are often seen

in a small repeat but when enlarged, they make bold

statements in a room. Their prominence at Market

indicated how the classic pattern can be reinterpreted

in a modern way.

LAURA BIELECKI

Less a trend than a direction, I noticed pieces

that were a personal and joyful approach to

living a life of style and color regardless of

fads. Designers Sarah Dolce and Peter Sinnott

created a beautiful, welcoming, and one of

a kind NY loft-inspired living room by re-

envisioning Chaddock Home’s traditionally

classic pieces with color, texture and pattern. I

cannot help but feel at home with pieces that

make me smile. Ceramics with legs, accessories

with attitude, and tables with bright color or

dynamic forms in beautiful textures can bring a

space to a new and unexpected life.

LAURA BIELECKII loved seeing a strong use of materials in bold and dynamic

contemporary ways. The pieces I fell for could easily lead the

eye through a space, while treating interiors like art allowed for

a beautiful play of relationships in items that point at others,

create a backdrop or add drama to another element. Dynamic

angles and forms created unique focal points. Antiqued

bronze, burl wood, and iron black finishes really made a

statement through the show. Also evident was a great use of

positive and negative space to create drama, as in tube leg

frames in metallic finishes supporting heavier pieces, raising

the viewer’s eye, and lifting the visual weight off of the floor.

Some prefer a room that boasts glitz and glamour while

others prefer a more natural vibe, but most of us like to

have a taste of it all, and Fall Market was built for just

that. Raw met polished, bright colors sidled up to moody

ones, and deconstructed elements were united with those

that are more highly refined. These combinations made

my heart skip a beat and I felt particularly drawn to the

union of high contrast textures. From glossy tabletops

that adorned rough hewn metal legs to streamlined chair

frames accented by natural fiber seating, Market was a

celebration of design elements that surprise and delight.

As far as Fall Market was concerned, all that glitters really is gold, especially when that

glitter comes in the form of lavish metals, luxurious fabrics, and saturated hues like

Lily Pad Green and Indigo Blue. Although I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the company

of a neutral color palette and raw, organic textures, it was a joy to see that sultry gem

tones and lush fabrics and finishes are continuing to make themselves comfortable

on everything from furniture and rugs to lighting and wallpaper. And these exquisite

elements are not solely reserved for traditional homeowners any longer; they’re

popping up on sleek, contemporary pieces as well, taking on a highly tailored tone

that nobody can resist.

As a passionate believer in symmetry, I was immediately

captivated by the wealth of linear channeling, pleating,

and quilting I saw at Market. Showrooms were awash with

textural interest as pieces covered in everything from

velvet to leather were busy flaunting their stylish new

lines. I walked away with a refreshing reminder that the

beauty of any exquisite design will always live in the details

fashioned through quality craftsmanship.

Strong geometrics remain on trend this Market and the facet-

shape, in particular, continued to pop up in various sizes and

types of furnishings. Bernhardt’s Mosaic Cocktail Table displayed

oversized, architectural facets proudly on its perimeter while the

pattern on Four Hand’s Cru Mirror remained small and dainty, but

still packing a design punch. Other furnishings exhibited the facet

form in 2-D patterns such as the stunning Callahan Cabinet by

Palecek proving that this facet-nating detail is a trending force to

be reckoned with.

Painted, sculpted, chiseled, oh my! A turn away from the

assembly line toward an artistic creed was present in all forms

this Market. Painterly details could be found everywhere,

from Mitchell Black’s Large Cauldron wallcovering to Currey &

Company’s Brill Lamp with dramatic singular strokes of gold. The

entire product line from Arete Collection, the brainchild of an

American born sculptor, dazzled as functional art for your wall.

Chiseled wood details transform Noir’s Desdemona Sideboard

from a functional cabinet into a living sculpture, and make this

trend a triple threat of beauty, brains and individuality.

BRYNN OLSON“Form follows function” ruled this fall in an exciting trend

of specially shaped tables designed to stand alone or

in a grouping to offer flexibility to any space large or

small. Highland House’s Emmett Bunching Tables were

displayed in a grouping of three as a coffee table but one

alone can hold its weight as an architecturally interesting

side table. Darryl Carter’s collection for Baker Furniture’s

Milling Road produced the Patterson Cocktail table and

the Fold Accent Table both following suit of those same

ideals. Global Views T-Flex table can be pieced together

like a puzzle to achieve your most ideal spatial needs

confirming Sullivan’s ideology trends true this Market.

CHARMING CHARTREUSE

CIRCLE UP

Not quite yellow and not quite green, chartreuse was this

Market’s color chameleon. The eye-catching hue proved to

be surprisingly versatile, appearing on velvet upholstery

for a louche 70’s vibe, on rattan resort furniture for a

breezy island sensibility, and on accents such as pillows

and lighting for a spirited touch of sass throughout the

home. Designers further demonstrated its versatility by

combining it in a variety of palettes. Paired with white

and other brights the effect was playful and fun; and

in partnership with deep colors and jewel tones, major

drama ensues. With so much to offer, could chartreuse

be the new black?

A return to formalism was everywhere this Market, with

pure shapes and lines taking precedence over elaborate

adornment. Nowhere was this more apparent than in the

prevalence of bold circle silhouettes across all categories.

In lighting and tabletop items, accent furniture and soft

goods, the circle received top billing and was further

underscored by metallic framing and slicing to create a

sense of contrast that emphasizes its perennial power.

The result is furnishings with serious sculptural presence,

decor that does double duty as art, and show-stopping

pieces that inject a contemporary flair into interiors of all

styles.

LAURA UMANSKY

Warm and masculine detailing had a strong presence at

Fall Market. After seasons of crisp white upholstery and

bright brass frames, we see the industry turning to tailored

pieces wrapped in leather and wool. Structured lighting and

accessories with thoughtful details – like hexagonal crystal in

an antique brass base of the same shape – were in multiple

showrooms. Dark and rich color palettes were prevalent.

Burled wood, pieces fully wrapped in caramel leather,

topstitching, and contrast-color nail heads were beautiful

materials I noticed in many new – and handsome –

introductions.

LAURA UMANSKYMultiple design houses tastefully

tested our limits this fall! I saw plenty

of edgy and contemporary pieces with

clean lines and daring features. Playful

accents, such as the spikes on the SHO

Modern Danger table (wrapped in black

leather to boot), were innovative takes

on classic pieces. Black was back in a

big way and it made an appearance on

several items I loved from Spring Market,

like the nightstand wrapped in black

vellum with a high gloss finish by Julian

Chichester. In addition, acrylic is still en

vogue but made quieter appearances.

I loved seeing acrylic as a base on the

Montauk chair by Laura Rottet.

Though mysterious and at times elusive, transparency made a profound appearance at Fall Market. If you weren’t careful, you’d nearly miss a bevy of gems hidden in plain sight. Crystal clear objects ranging from wall sconces to occasional tables to seating graced showroom floors yet performed disappearing acts like a crafty magician in a modern day magic show. Disappearing and reappearing pieces such as the Pierre Acrylic Backgammon Table from Interlude Home were crafted from materials such as acrylic, bubble glass, or lucite. Though deceptively beautiful, each piece donned a classic silhouette yet provided a mysterious way of giving visual weight to negative space.

For years homeowners have been

holding their collective breath for the

world to deliver a high performing yet

luxurious textile that would stand up to

life’s beautiful messes. Lo and behold,

Fall Market ushered in a game-changer

fabric – Crypton Home. Collaboration

with brands like Thibaut made it possible

to have fabulous, on-trend animal prints

such as their Menagerie collection.

Even better, timeless classics like

Thayer Coggins’ Milo Baughman T Back

Chair can now boast luxurious velvet

upholstery that lasts as long as its frame.

We’re all excited to see how this response

to market demand changes the way we

live in our homes.

I'll openly admit that my eye is almost always drawn to color. Brash turquoises. Fire-engine reds. Vibrant apple greens. Everywhere I looked at Fall Market – I saw a welcome wealth of saturated hues boldly used.

Bold choices means a bold impact. I was seeing Asian-inspired patterns – in textiles, furniture details, and wallcoverings – across the width and breadth of High Point. Echoing the trend in colors – these vignettes took chinoiserie patterns to the next level!
