ICFF Trend : Copper

As much as I’ve loved ICFF’s trends so far this year (Green, Geometrics and Brass & Copper), I will always consider copper my first love. Classic metallics like this will never go out of style, but copper really had a moment this year and, fingers crossed, seems to be tipping over into the rose gold world, too. That rosier, pinker point of view is so beautiful and feels so modern on really simple designs- I can’t wait to see how it evolves for next year. But this year’s collection of shiny copper pendants, chandeliers, canisters, baskets, tables and chairs really took my breath away. Fingers crossed it will cross over into rose gold next year…

ICFF 2013 TRENDS: GREEN

Growing up, I was obsessed with people’s favorite colors. Any new friend I made in school would be asked that pressing question and I felt defined by my own personal choice: White. To this day I still carry a little torch for fellow white-lovers. Green was my least bit favourtie - until I met my good freind Raghuvir. He changed the way I looked at colours - It was Yellow all the way for him !!! And till this date for some reason - I remember meeting his girlfriend and now Wife, Chhavi Sodhani for the very first time - and she was wearing a GREEN !!! Really - my eyes popped.. she is my green girl.. she is the reason why green is now accepteable in my life. So all you green lovers in this wide world will be happy to know that GREEN  was everywhere at ICFF. Last year there were a lot of super neon-bright colors (there were still some this year, too), but this year I felt like everywhere we looked, there was a rich jewel-toned green. From the incredible striated chair above to the faceted light below, little pops of green really had their moment. As a green-girl from day one, I was happy to see this trend. I hope you guys will enjoy these green pieces as much as I did.
