finding your The 2013 trend projections from our collaborator, Trend Union, are called Bliss.

nding your The baking of bread is the alchemy of the everyday. The ability to nourish ones body and soul. The joyful aroma of freshly made bread evokes the feeling of the promise of better days ahead. And the idea of plentiful bounty. The color of the breads like whole wheat and rye provide a sense of relief and a feeling of belonging. Of coming home. We’ve developed this grouping of products to represent these ideas. We strayed from the use of chocolate to delve into the lighter and medium values of this color’s family. The result is an unexpected upscale, but homey grouping of colors....

finding your The Garden is a privileged space that connects our inner world with the public world.

nding your This is a meditation on the idea of mending, the ritual of stitching and the poetry of embroidery. We will see the comeback of vintage hues and the layering of colors and patterns. Clothes will have homemade, hand-stitched embellishments. Interiors will have special touches that are not mass-produced. Our palette focuses on the layering of colors, taking solid elds and infusing them with tufted bits of colors or multicolors. The optimism of the color orange reects the positivity and bliss we are constantly striving for. PRODUCTS SHOWN: JACKET 403 | PAVED FREEDOM 7889 | BREAK...

finding your With the desire to become one with the Universe, there exists a desire to explore the past and our ancestors. Look to the popularity of Ancestry.com and the History Channel as examples of this trend. Through this exploration we will see a new form of Spiritual Ecology coming into our vernacular. We have interpreted this trend by reinventing the grey color family with a soulfulness and gravitas that communicates a spiritual, healing feeling. Marrying cool grays and warm grays together helps to create balance and imparts the feeling of stability and being on solid ground. The...

nding your A colorcard of non-colors, non-expression, nonattention. This idea is based on the emergence of a culture that rejects consumption. Consumption is viewed as wasted energy. For spaces, this means that the interior architecture takes the forefront of the conversation and the nishes provide the backdrop. Our Power Surge Collection featured in this palette with the style called Wavelength was developed with this idea in mind. We built a sophisticated palette of subtle colors, with intricate patterns that mimic our woven broadlooms but use tufted technology. PRODUCTS SHOWN: EXPERIMENT...

finding your This is the idea of a global spirituality and an acknowledgement that we have a deep desire to understand other cultures. The modern businessperson is a new breed of nomad working globally going from country to country with regularity. The result is indigenous design that is increasingly influenced by nonnative, cultural styles and fashions. We appreciate that many of our customers regularly create with a global customer in mind. Often being required to blend a branded image into a space with the respect of a culture and its surroundings. PRODUCTS SHOWN: SYMPHONIC PULSE 371 |...
