The
New Wave Collection in multi colorway by Momeni. |

American consumers are opting for
the middle of the road when it comes to choosing a style for their
home furnishings. Many traditional-styled offerings are less
ornate than they were a decade ago. At the same time, contemporary
designs have become warmer, less edgy with eclectic mixes of
materials. Transitional styles that blend elements of both worlds
have gained in popularity. Here are some examples of how classic
styles—from modern through traditional—have been updated today
with clean looks in fresh colors.
Clean Contemporary
Classic floral patterns take on a
modern feel with Hallmart Home Fashion’s Seville bed, which
features fabric flocked with a jet-black contemporary floral
pattern applied to a printed, off-white cotton field. The
comforter reverses to a solid black micro fiber fabric, which
provides a striking contrast to the overall pattern of the face.
The ensemble features two black Euro Shams with an inset white
border; two standard shams that match the comforter and have a
black flanged border; three decorative pillows with accents that
complement the design of the overall collection and a pleated
black bed skirt with a white stripe around the perimeter. Seville
is available as a 9-piece queen and 10-piece king ensemble.
Les Silhouettes showcases
“scissor-cut” flower tendrils enforced in their modernity by the
restrained colorways of black and white, and light grey on beige
(shown). Les Silhouettes is printed on 100% cotton satin. The
design has been developed in the company’s own design atelier at
Christian Fischbacher.
Updated
Traditional
The new collection of printed
bedding ensembles from Yehuda Silberberg Ltd. of Israel has been
inspired by the look of antique upscale woven fabrics. Using
superior watercolor effects and fine intricate designs, the
resulting fashion enables the company to offer customers the rich,
elegant look of fine woven fabrics in printed bedding. |

The New Wave Collection from Momeni
has evolved. Working in tandem with artisans to re-style New Wave,
the pattern carries the influence of artwork, achieving an Art
Nouveau quality that uses curved linear elements to shape the look
of a Joan Miro or Picasso painting. Hand-tufted of a special blend
of the highest quality Chinese wools, New Wave mimics the
attributes of hand-carving, depth, and Tibetan-like weaves, most
commonly found in hand-knotted pieces. This trend of updating the
quality and design of hand-tufted rugs is a plus for buyers who
don’t want to sacrifice style in order to fit a budget. |

India’s Finest at International Home

Great international sourcing depends
on discovering quality, reliable companies, which can be an
overwhelming task maneuvering through mammoth trade shows or
unfamiliar cities in Europe and Asia. The International Home Deco
Park (IHDP) in Delhi, India, makes sourcing easier by making sense
of the process in several ways:
- Year-round
availability.
The IHDP is a year round facility with showrooms open
six days a week. “The IHDP is ready for business whenever a
buyer is,” says Aditya Gupta, co-founder and managing director
of IHDP. “This concept is different from most market centers in
the world, where buyers must visit only during show dates.”
- Quality companies all
in one place.
The 100 companies from all across India at the IHDP have been
carefully vetted. Each product category has six-to-ten
suppliers, so buyers can see variety in a reasonable amount of
time. “A business traveller can see 50-to-60 showrooms in a
matter of 2-to-3 days,” says Gupta.
- Outstanding service
facilities.
“The showrooms, most ranging from 2,000-to-3,000 square- feet,
are done to a world class standard,” says Gupta. Not only is the
landscaped setting of the park relaxing and resort-like, but the
Service Center insures a stress-free visit by providing business
assistance in packaging and label design, forwarding, testing
and inspection services. There are design and photography
studios, a design library, and display rooms in which to
coordinate product stories.
“The saving of time and the broadening of horizons for a
business visitor are great benefits,” says Gupta, “and the
hospitality provided by IHDP is unmatched.”
