Maison&Objet Paris, A Designer’s Dream
If I thought New York was a plethora of home linens offerings. The Paris show takes it to another level! The sheer number of suppliers was exciting and a sight for sore bedded eyes.
Fashion houses are moving into home textiles and are extending their brand into luxury bedding such as Hugo Boss, Kenzo, to name a few.
Silks, cashmere and finely combed cottons were the foundation of some of the more luxurious bedrooms. For the more contemporary bedroom vignettes, there were either splashes of color with Sonia Rikyel or the calm minimalist feeling as shown with Zimmer and Rohde’s new bedding collection.
Linen, has always had greater acceptance in European households. But as seen at the other shows, the trend to the natural look was definitely amplified at this show.

Buying Season Has Begun with the New York Show, August 2011
First, off to Toronto to visit Canadian suppliers and distributors. Done in a day ! While the industry is small in Canada there are some gems not to be missed. Canadians may be small but nimble such as Linen Way; great table linens and accessories at reasonable prices.
Four days later I flew to New York where the array of home textiles and decorative accents is really inspiring. This gift show covers the gamut for small gift shops, to linen shops, to sophisticated tabletop. How do the buyers who cross multiple categories manage to see it all???
Natural is The Look

Common threads abound with lots of natural fabrics and more relaxed looks in bedding. Linen continues to make inroads for bed as well as table linens.
Many suppliers are featuring linen in a multitude of colors and custom sizes.

Organic Linens
Coyuchi, an organic bedding manufacturer is showcasing has colored sateen’s which have been processed with low impact dyes. So now you don’t have to settle for just one look if you want organic linens.
Layers Abound
The layered look continues strong with more options in blankets and coverlets blankets in view.
