Linen Spring/Summer 2010 TrendsWorldwide — For Spring/Summer 2010 the Linen Dream Lab is inspired by looking into the light. The lab pushes away traditional technique to develop a first collection of innovative fabrics where linen delights in unusual blends and principle harmonies.

Mudéjar StyleWorldwide — Cultures tend to clash, sometimes with catastrophic and far-reaching consequences, and that’s not a secret. As trite as it may sound, we’ve become fixated on the xenophobia and we often overlook the times we were tolerant of one another. Like the mosque in Paris, the images in this gallery are the product of fusing peoples. In this gallery see how designs are getting the Mudéjar style treatment. |

Mimicry & ImpersonatorsWorldwide — Mimicry is a key tactic for most wildlife’s survival and appears to be entering the design world ever so sneakily. To mimic is to resemble closely, take the appearance of or simulate someone or something else; like an insect that mimics a twig. When one animal copies the appearance or sound of another animal the first animal is called a mimic. This gallery of images is full of some of the most stylish impersonators. |

Le Rouge de 5 HeuresParis — Baccarat, since its establishment in 1764, has continually expanded its influence of beautifully handcrafted work of the highest quality.

To Be Continued...Paris — An expo review awaits you. Enigmatically entitled “To Be Continued,” the exposition is now open at the Maison du Danemark on Paris’ glitzy Champs-Élysées avenue.

Comprised of both sketches and completed works, the show is dedicated to the understanding of one’s own reflection. Reflect within. |

Designer Spotlight: Design GlutNew York — Normally Trendease focuses on one designer for our designer spotlight, but this month we could not pass up the opportunity to share with you with two designers from New York. Their inspiration often comes from current events and the culture around them. Their product categories include housewares and politically charged jewelry that make us question our consumption of useless goods and challenge ourselves to look deeper to find a meaning in everything we purchase. |
|
New Talent: The Enemy of the GoodLondon and Sèvres — The combination of innovative student ideas with traditional manufacturing techniques created one of the most impressive exhibits that the Trendease Team saw during Designer’s Days. So impressive that the “The Enemy of the Good” exhibit won best exhibition design of Designer’s Days, beating out more than 40 other design showrooms. See the winning combinations here. |

EcoChic: Soft and Friendly TextilesWorldwide — Few have the time to devote their entire lives to protecting the environment. So the rest of us do our part by buying eco-friendly items. But more importantly, we educate ourselves whenever the opportunity presents itself. And while this includes keeping up with issues like greenwashing, awareness isn’t enough. Application is what counts. See some of the latest eco-chic textiles here within. |
