Did you notice any style/design trends? Or color trends? 11:31:05 From Esther Jongste : or is it more toned down? 11:31:26 From Dora : I can imagine it was more colorful! 11:32:30 From Harir : It's interesting because it looks like the furniture decor/ home decor isn't as much concerned with the lastest trends, but more just general trends and classic patterns 11:33:56 From jenny bova : I know from my work in interiors that something that looks hand blocked but doesn’t have that cost will always sell 11:34:25 From Chris O. : That is helpful to hear about the painterly brushstroke style. Thanks! 11:35:44 From Harir : maybe they don't want to use soo many bright colors because it is also hard to change your furniture all the time but you can always changer your pillows/throws/ accessories 11:36:07 From Esther Jongste : more textural and organic with not too many colors? 11:36:08 From jenny bova : That’s true and interior fabric is very expensive 11:37:10 From jenny bova : Most cities have designer showrooms that you can go to if you go with a designer 11:41:10 From Harir : Are you going to PRemiere vision 11:41:13 From Chris O. : Thanks so much. this was really interesting and helpful 11:41:16 From Dora : No but would love to attend! 11:41:27 From Harir : because that looks more like textiles, and fashion 11:41:53 From Esther Jongste : no it is too expensive for me.
