NEWSLETTER #86 Frankfurt — September 2005 — The Trendease Team just returned from the Tendence Lifestyle show in Frankfurt where we were exploring home lifestyle products, cooking and tableware, decorations, gifts, jewelry and accessories. This gallery of images is all about Christmas; however, Christmas is not what it used to be—cross cultural designs and new colorways were sweeping through the exhibition halls.

Holiday Displays: Midnight Express Frankfurt — September 2016 — These vignettes keep it simple with wooden houses. Multiple uses for such displays can extend beyond the window to free-standing displays within a shop environment. Dark colors, mainly black, grey, and taupe, are not what one would normally consider festive, but upon reviewing the items, most of them are about travel, something that many of us do at the holiday season.

Holiday Displays: Red-Nosed Frankfurt — September 2016 — A roaring fire on a flat screen TV, why not? So much of our lives is digital now, even the fireplace. Cute as well as customizable cards and stationery adorn this area in a multitude of languages. Candles help us ‘keep calm and carry on’ with a warm atmosphere and beverage. Red and white stars, spots, and simplified Christmas trees decorate the latest items this season alongside old-fashion signs and spinoff creations of recognizable brands.

Holiday Displays: Frosty Blue Frankfurt — September 2016 — Brrrrrrrr! The Mad Hatter, a stag, and a fish walk into a bar… or in this case a wooden holiday house looking to warm up. Blankets, baubles, and soaps are neatly arranged. Feathers, fur, sequins, and felt are the materials of choice. An array of ceramics are ready for warming up guests with hot chocolate, coffee, tea and some spice cake. Canisters, containers, and trays are perfect to keep bits and bobs.

NEWSLETTER #496 - A Furniture Wrap Around Worldwide — November 2014 — It is that time of year where many of us are exposed to less daylight and cocoon-like feelings begin to take over. Traditionally wing chairs were designed with their particular structure to fend off drafts while sitting by the fireplace, but in today’s modern world they have taken on a new characteristic to become a retreat into privacy or even a dream state. Here subscribers can see a selection of images reviewing the transformation of the wing chair, internationally from North America to Europe to Asia.

Hot Fire Prevention Multiple European Cities — December 2012 — Whoever said fire prevention couldn’t be sexy—and we’re not talking firemen (and women)!? Gone are the days when fire prevention for your home acts as a giant eyesore. We all know it is necessary, and we have all learned to tolerate ugly apparatuses that are there to protect us, but tolerate is a verb of the past! Rejoice is the new action word. Now we delight in the fact that the design world has gotten its hand into this niche product category.

The headline theme is ‘Being’ and we are ecstatic to bring you the highlights.

At Home with Humans Worldwide — November 2010 — Some would say that humans have conquered the world, other would debate that assumption. Whichever side of the coin you choose, we must live in harmony with the animal planet or the outcome could be disastrous. Urban landscapes continue to grow and push animals out. And ironically domestic pets are becoming more like members of the family. And designers are doing something about it!

NEWSLETTER #331 - Clay, Ceramic, Concrete Worldwide — October 2010 — Reviewing the slew of content gathered during the London Design Festival, it is plain to see that concrete and its sister materials are getting a makeover. At 100% Design, Tent, and Designersblock items such as a classic three-seater Chesterfield, floor cushions, and knit ‘textiles’ deserve a second look. Because at first glance one may not realize that these items are cast in concrete for interior and exterior usage.

Jennifer's September Scribbles Stockholm — September 2010 — To shop or drop would appear to be the question. As the new trade show season is upon us there are various opinions circulating. Is the economic crisis over, or are we still smack dab in the middle of it? There is no consensus. So buy/design wisely. Not simply because of the turbulent times, but also because we are entering into a new age where responsibility, authenticity, origins, and process play a more important role in purchasing decisions. How a design is created is as relevant as how the design looks.
