Ever since 1913, the High Point Market is the largest furnishings industry trade show in the world, bringing more than 75,000 people to High Point, North Carolina, every six months, including serious retail home furnishings buyers, interior designers, architects, and others in the home furnishings industry.

As they get ready for their trend-tracking tours of High Point showrooms, some Style Spotters pored through our exhibitor-selected New Product Picks to find the trends that are redefining the shape of home fashion.
高级白
White Haute
最单纯的白色也可以是千变万化的。有凝聚力的配色方案，能够将具有不同属性的独特物品（例如纹理、形状、比例或样式）混合在一起。Century's Tangiers休闲椅在沿海起居室与Alden Parkes的威廉姆斯餐具柜搭配在一起是多么美妙；在一个现代化的中西部沙漠之家，Bernhardt的雅典娜鸡尾酒桌和Jamie Young的特尔斐壁灯十分搭调；Elisabeth York的Tinsley是一款真正的时尚变色龙，非常适合所有卧室。这些真的可以称作“高级白”！
One of my favorite ways to keep things from looking too matchy-matchy is to mix unique items with different attributes—such as texture, shape, scale, or style—together through a cohesive color scheme. How fabulous would Century’s Tangiers Lounge Chair look paired with Alden Parkes’ Williams Sideboard in a coastal living room? Or Bernhardt’s Athena Cocktail Table with Jamie Young’s Delphi Wall Sconce in a modern midwestern desert home? Not to be outdone by casegoods, Elisabeth York’s Tinsley is a plush bedding collection that’s a true style chameleon, making it the perfect addition to any bedroom. The look is truly white-haute!
色彩故事
A Color Story
这种新的色彩趋势在家庭中崭露头角。现在，设计师比以往更多地将颜色引入项目中，不仅运用在墙壁上，还用在家具、配件、地毯和床上用品中。我们喜欢York Wallcoverings白鹭壁纸的大胆色彩组合。Carol＆Frank Colley床上用品系列的色彩故事更加低调。在Chelsea House、Jeffan和Selamat Designs等品牌的新介绍中也可以看到，这种趋势可以让个性闪耀，帮助人们在家中实现自己的风格。无论是高对比度还是柔和的粉彩，本季的一切都与色彩有关。
We are seeing bravery across the country with this new trend of color popping up in homes. Designers are now introducing color more than ever into their projects. Not only on walls, but in furniture, accessories, rugs and bedding. We are loving the bold color combination of the Egret wallpaper by York Wallcoverings. The beautiful Carol & Frank Colley bedding collection can be used in a more understated color story. Also seen in new introductions from Chelsea House, Jeffan, and Selamat Designs, this trend allows personality to shine and helps a person define their style in their home. Whether it’s high contrast or soft pastels, it’s all about color this season.
流体极简主义
Fluid Minimalism
这是设计元素的完美组合，流体极简主义适用于住宅、商业和酒店的环境。Corbett Lighting、Miniforms、Screen Gems Teton Home、Robert James Collection和Pianca USA等品牌都提供了很好的示例，这些家具的形状是坚固、永恒、雕塑式的，适合任何空间。这些设计会成为人们的收藏品，留给后代的传家宝。
Illustrating a perfect combination of design elements, the pieces I selected to express this trend are applicable to residential, commercial, and hospitality environments. As exemplified in new introductions from Corbett Lighting, Miniforms, Screen Gems Teton Home, Robert James Collection, and Pianca USA, the shapes are strong, timeless, sculptural forms that fit into any space as if they were already a favorite fixture or furnishing. I foresee all of these designs becoming collectible heirloom pieces that people want to own now, and pass on to future generations.
全球收集
Globally Gathered
设计师和房主已成为故事讲述者，通过全球收集和重新创作的作品，来探索他们的视觉叙事。 我们在Jaipur的摩洛哥风格的Gallant Woodstock地毯中看到了这种美学，它具有大胆的色调和色谱；还有Mirror Image Home的镀金铁镜，以鲜明的形式呈现出摩洛哥拱门的经典图案。
受到古董的启发，Highland House的Atchison Slipper Chair拥有精致的比例和更新的饰面细节，使其永远新鲜、永不过时，而Selamat的Sydney Mod Credenza赋予70年代的野兽主义更加女性化、时尚前沿的感觉。JKM Home的Gibbs边桌很容易被当成去巴黎旅游时从跳蚤市场淘来的。
Designers and homeowners have become storytellers, exploring their visual narratives through globally gathered and reinvented pieces. We see this aesthetic in Jaipur’s Moroccan-inspired Gallant Woodstock rug, with its bolder scale and color palette, or Mirror Image Home’s gilded Iron Mirror, which elicits images of classic Moroccan archways in its decidedly fresh form.
Inspired by an antique find, Highland House’s Atchison Slipper Chair has refined proportions and updated finishing details to make it timelessly fresh and future-proof, while Selamat’s Sydney Mod Credenza gives 70’s Brutalism a more feminine, fashion-forward edge. Finally, JKM Home’s Gibbs Side Table could easily be a piece one picked up from the Flea Markets on a visit to Paris.
家庭白日梦
Domestic Daydream
受到上世纪50年代的启发，“家庭白日梦”复兴了我们的过去。今天的技术、社交媒体和整体混乱造成了许多不稳定因素，人们渴望一个更单纯的时代。于是，我们希望家里的日常物品，让人享受舒适和放松。
设计集中在那些具有上世纪中期风格的家具，完全是美国式的派头，仿佛祖辈遗留下来的传家宝。这些家具让我们想起母亲的家，或祖父母的夏季度假屋，令人感到十分舒适——但是，又具有某种现代感。这些记忆唤起了一种感觉，不那么遥远的时代的人们和地方，提供了一种现代世界所缺乏的选择。
Inspired by the 1950’s, Domestic Daydream celebrates and revives our past. Today’s technology, social media, and overall chaos create a constant unsettledness, a need for wanting more, and a yearning for simpler times. To counterbalance this reaction, we look to fill our homes with items that offer the comfort of routine and joyful opportunities to unwind.
Design focuses on items that could pass for heirloom relics with mid-century shapes and all-American appeal. We find comfort in feeling transported to a time that reminds us of our mother’s home or grandparent’s summer destination—but with a modern twist. These memories of people, places, and not-so-distant times evoke feelings that provide an alternative that has what the modern world lacks.
野蛮主义
Brute
野蛮主义从工业设计师Dieter Ram“少但更好”的哲学出发，认为设计本质上应该是极简的。 野蛮主义的灵感来自于上世纪中叶建筑野兽派运动的复兴——这是一种对赤裸的无怨无悔的表达和欣赏，代表了某种反乌托邦的社会审美观。
野蛮主义大胆打破传统，是对上世纪三四十年代的浮华的反拨。我们目前所处的理想主义社会使野蛮主义设计运动得到了更新。理想主义技术文化的兴起，促使设计师在空间中添加智能家居、LED和触摸激活，而使设计得到新的发展。
Drawing from industrial designer Dieter Ram’s philosophy, “less but better,” Brute stems from the idea that design should be essentially minimal. Brute is inspired by the resurgence of the Brutalism movement in mid-century architecture—an unapologetic form of expression and appreciation for the bare. Determined to make a statement, this aesthetic evokes a dystopian society.
Traditionally, Brutalism was brought about from a rebuttal of the frivolity of 1930s and 1940s designs, an attempt to be bold and break traditions. The renewal of this design movement comes from the idealistic society we currently live in. The rise of idealist technology culture has forced design to evolve by adding smart homes, LED, and touch-activation into our spaces.
古董的魅力
Magic From The Past
今天的室内设计充满了各种故事情节，没有任何元素比精工细作的古董更能增加故事性。古代与现代融合在一起的动态视觉张力中充满了魔力。正如Alexa Hampton所说：“如果建筑背景是现代的，那么具有年代感和铜绿的作品将成为他们周围现代环境的完美陪衬。”
正是这种平衡使得古董在设计师手中的使用如此强大。它创造了客户在室内设计中所需的永恒品质。Hampton在自己的公寓里，将一对法兰西帝国时期风格的桃花心木椅与19世纪奥地利新古典主义的黑檀木盥洗台相结合，表达了另一个时代的奢华优雅。

Today’s interiors are about storytelling, and no element adds more to the story than a beautifully crafted antique. There is magic in the dynamic visual tension created by a blend of ancient and modern. As Alexa Hampton shared with me, “If the architectural backdrop is contemporary, pieces with age and patina will serve as the perfect foil to the stark modernity of their surroundings.”
It is this counterbalance that makes the use of antiques so powerful in the hands of a skilled designer. It creates that timeless quality our clients want in their interiors. In her own apartment, Hampton expresses the sumptuous elegance of another era by combining a pair of French Empire style mahogany chairs with a 19th Century Austrian Neoclassic ebonized commode.
绿色的60亿个理由
Sixty Billion Reasons to Go Green
消费者对环保、可持续、清洁、无毒和天然产品的需求和描述它们的词汇数量都是与日俱增。应对这一趋势使Robin Wilson走在了设计的最前沿。在她的“设计观点系列”主题演讲中，Wilson展示了如何从可持续和低过敏性家具中获得新增长。

Consumer desire for eco-friendly, sustainable, clean, toxin-free, and natural products is growing as rapidly as the number of words that describe them. Responding to this trend has moved Robin Wilson to the forefront of a major design disruption. In her "Design Viewpoints Series" keynote, Wilson showed Market guests how to reap new revenues from sustainable and hypoallergenic furnishings.
