T he beauty of the global aesthetic
is that it brings the far reaches of
the world to any home. It allows
customers to experience and appreciate
styles from a variety of cultures and
regions without needing a passport.”
– Kazumi Yoshida, Art Director for
Clarence House
Our customers’ tastes are
changing as the times are
changing. In terms of décor,
customers are looking for more
livable fabrics. There’s a big push for
performance and durability. Families
want practical design landscapes that
they can live with. People want to enjoy
their homes. There’s also a much more
competitive indoor/outdoor fabric
market, and because of that, those
fabrics are even more high-quality –
with a softer hand and broader color
palette. Speaking of color, there is also a
bend toward new, interesting colors like
peacock and aubergine...moving away
from more neutral blues and grays.”
– Scott Kravet, Chief Creative Director of
