Kick off the New Year with modern rental furnishings that reflect 2017 ’ s hottest trends in event décor ! CORT is introducing a variety of stylish new products for meeting and event professionals that will help planners create captivating , engaging , and immersive environments .
Trends in soft seating for events mirror the trends in home furnishings and continue to be dominated by all shades of gray and light colored linens with a strong shift towards eclecticism . The muted color palette is not only clean but features lush textured fabrics , fur , and velvet to give a soft organic feel .
Minimalistic furnishings in gray tones , such as CORT ’ s new modular Hexagon Ottomans and Island Double Sofas ; embody the clean , neutral mid-century trend and serve as the canvas to layer color and other décor elements that provide individuality . This aesthetic must still accommodate technology , and by adding charging tables and powered seating to spaces , designers can ensure they are addressing those needs as well .
Whether it ’ s a meeting in a hotel ballroom or an evening gala , clients want designs that exude warmth and facilitate connections . Pantone ’ s Spring 2017 color palette , along with Color of the Year , “ Greenery ”, offers an unusual juxtaposition of vitality , calmness and the great outdoors , which represents this trend . Using earth centric colors and mixed materials in tables , ottomans and décor also infuses organic elements , which is critical in today ’ s event design . Greenery is a great way to bring the outdoors inside and CORT ’ s full range of life-like greenery helps divide space and bring designs to life .
