What style trends did you notice at market?

We received positive feedback from customers on our use of colors in the showroom. We used a lot of dramatic, black York wallcoverings, and I mixed in bright colors that really popped next to our cerused oak and natural cane collections. It was a big hit! A creative way to show off how versatile our neutrals can be, without going the standard monochromatic direction, is by incorporating cheerful fabrics and colorful artwork! 

Featured SKUs: Etagere – Young CO; Chairs - Monroe WH, CO

What Worlds Away new introductions garnered the most interest?

I would say the Young fluted etagere in cerused oak grabbed a lot of attention thanks to the stunning scalloped detail on the doors, but the Monroe handwoven dining chair was by far our biggest seller. 

Featured SKUs: Coffee Table – Oslo CO; Couch – Kaleb IVY

What new introduction is your personal favorite?

How would you style it?

The Oslo coffee table in cerused oak. I love the thick top with cross base. It can be used in a single application as the star of the show or in a set of three where you have a lot of space to fill. It’s a statement table without overpowering a room and is fantastic for any transitional space.
