Attending trade events is one of our favourite ways for our DSO educators to stay connected to the industry.

We visited Design Show in Sydney last week and left feeling sooooo inspired.

Hands down, this event featured some of the most refreshing designs we’ve seen in recent years.

Looks like designers currently aren’t afraid to play with colour, pattern and form - some of our fave elements!

Here are some of the top trends we noticed from the trade fair:

1. PLAYFUL SHAPES

Calling it now - Scandi is over. Goodbye straight-legged designs. Designers are now looking for any excuse to infuse different, customised shapes into their furniture pieces. In particular, console tables with stacked spheres for legs from FForm, plus a primitive looking carved table base from Calce Company (executed in one of their divine microcement textures) caught our eye.
