hand-crafted artisanal products
As with every trend, there is always an opposing counterpart. Turn the other way, and you will find plenty of earthy, artisanal products made by hand with natural fibers. They are crafted by designers locally or worldwide, and emphasize functionality, simplicity of form, care for the environment, and fair trade. What these products have in common with their more opulent counterparts is a true sense of pride by their makers in quality and craftsmanship.
Jean De Merry www. jeandemerry. com furry, fuzzy, textural fabrics
The best way to make a room look interesting is to layer in lots of different textures. So to off-set all that 80’ s shine, layer in some fabrics you can sink your fingers into. Look for pillows, throws and accent upholstered pieces in furry fabrics. If you don’ t want a chair you can mistake for a pet, try some chunky weaves in wool, linen or chenille.
