Trend Watch
To Market, To Market
At the fall International Home Furnishings Market held in High Point, North Carolina, bold American style ruled.

Heather J. Paper attended High Point to view the latest and greatest furnishings to hit the market. A 25-year veteran of High Point, Paper says many of the new introductions were "traditional with a contemporary twist." Her favorite finds, which can be purchased locally through interior designers, include the following:

"Bona" lamp from the Retro Modern Collection
Euro Style, www.gotoeurostyle.com: "With its wonderful retro style, this pendant lamp is an art form in its own right."
The "Judy" recliner in Todd Oldham’s La-Z-Boy Collection
www.la-z-boy.com/Oldham, is the fourth recliner in Todd Oldham’s La-Z-Boy collection. It has a little softer lines—they describe it as "curvaceous"—and is designed to mix and match with the other upholstered pieces in the collection. Like all Todd Oldham pieces, this recliner is available in hundreds of fabrics.
Settee from the Coral Park Collection
Henredon, www.hendredon.com: "Just looking at this rattan settee transports you to exotic destinations."
"Garbo" camelback sofa by C.R. Laine
www.crlaine.com: "Wrapped in the right fabric, even an ultra-traditional camelback sofa can take on contemporary airs."
"Corona" 30-inch-diameter mirror by Babette Holland
www.babetteholland.com: "The technique used to make this mirror frame—spinning metal—is as intriguing as its nautilus pattern."
"Humanity" TV cabinet by Box Furniture
www.boxfurniture.net: "The woven-wood front of this entertainment unit gives it a little something extra in three-dimensional appeal."
"Maryland" high chest by Albert Sack
Hickory Chair, www.hickorychair.com: "This statuesque beauty commands attention, where it's used."
"Larkspur" bar cabinet from the Martha Stewart Signature Collection
Bernhardt, www.bernhardt.com: "This bar cabinet is so fashion-forward, you forget just how much storage it provides too."
Wingback bed from the Stockbridge/Country Living Collection
Lane, www.lanefurniture.com: "Who says wingback styling has to be reserved for chairs? This brown leather bed makes a case otherwise."
"Taylor" armchair by Palacek
www.palacek.com: "The beauty of this chair is in its dramatic black frame, which loops fluidly from the arched back to form gently curved arms."
