Designer Laura Stein shows us this year’s top design trends.
If you could choose one city in the world to find the latest trends in design and décor, it would be la Ville Lumière. Paris – the City of Light, the centre of fashion, and the home of Maison & Objet, one of the world’s largest design and décor shows. This fall, thousands of designers, artisans and manufacturers from around the globe descended on Paris to display their wares and peruse the latest trends in home décor. I was lucky enough to be among them. Undoubtedly, not every global design craze I discovered will make it to our shores, but I found five standout 2013 trends that we will surely adore. – Text Laura Stein
Trend # 3 - SELF- AWARE SOPHISTICATION AND EXPERIMENTATION
You’ve seen it in fashion magazines, and now interior designers are embracing the trend. It’s the spirit of the 80s – the energy, the freshness, the experimentation, – and it is a welcome change from last decade’s low-key subtle design. Some of the most unusual yet sophisticated furniture and lighting – pieces that scream, “Hey, look at me! You’ll never see anything else like this!” – are being designed and manufactured by innovative designers and artisans all over the world. Look for interesting and unexpected shapes and unusual materials. Photo Caption: Burlesque Console by Koket
