Boutique Design New York
Energetic, exciting and bustling! It was only the second year of Boutque Design New York but it was happening. Exhibitors and attendees were buzzing about the traffic, the enthusiasm and the all over positive atmosphere of the show. New product, exciting speakers and of course, our Trend Walk added to the fresh and alive vibe. We were inspired by the show and were seeing some popular themes. The nod to nature theme is still present however, we saw circular lighting, color blocking and floral motiffs throughout the show.
Globe shaped light fixtures had the spotlight. The shapes and multi-dimensions of the lights had a nautical feel to them and remined us of our Yacht Club collection.

We are seeing color blocking as a trend in all different design fields but Boutique Design was no exception. Our Acid Hip display in the Trend Walk showcased color blocking and exhibitors were showing it as well.

BDNY was blooming! Flowers were seen in all different shapes and arrangements. We were inspired by the amazing textures and ruching details.
