Trend Report 2014 by Jennifer Apple

Maxwell Fabrics Jennifer Apple I recently attended Heimtextil, the biggest international trade fair for home and contract textiles in the world. This is where I find inspiration for Maxwell Fabrics and Telafina and begin development on our new collections. It was one of the best shows I've attended.
 

Now that I'm settled back in my studio and reflecting on the show, I found I’ve really had a chance to understand the direction of upcoming trends and the influences for which these trends are based on.  Design ideas featured at Heimtex for 2014/15 are structured into two major categories - Progress and Revival. These two contracting themes come together and the concept becomes the key inspiration for lifestyle trends worldwide.

Maxwell Fabrics Jennifer Apple Trend Report

Progress is based on the idea that we must continuously innovate to improve quality and functionality. Technology is key as we look towards a sustainable future.

- Design direction - Flora and fauna prints.

- Most emphasized color - Green. In every tone from soft pastels to bright citron and continuation of rich emerald.

 

 

 

Revival is based on the idea that while technology takes us into the future we also must look back on past traditions and seek out purity and authenticity.

- Design direction - Natural materials that highlight if not emphasize nature's flaws in materials such as wood, stone, linen and metals.

-Most emphasized color - Metallics in tones of gold, copper and bronze.

These are a few key ideas influencing the design world now and into 2015 with exciting products planned in Maxwell's upcoming collections.

Maxwell Fabrics Partners with Style at Home

Maxwell Fabrics Style at Home Don’t miss the February 2014 issue of Style at Home Magazine!

It features a six page spread on the magazine’s own Design Editor, Jessica Waks, and the overhaul of her 1934 Georgian-style home in midtown Toronto. Maxwell Fabrics was thrilled to participate by supplying fabrics to fulfill the vision of her “forever house”.

In the kitchen, Jessica created a banquette to maximize seating in a tight corner. “I had it covered in a shiny black faux leather with deep diamond tufts to make it feel like you were sitting in a restaurant.” The faux leather is our exclusive Big Horn #350 Ebony from Easy Rider.

Big Horn #350 was also used to upholster three stools to match the banquette and placed at the kitchen island. See below left with Jessica sitting happily.

In the family room, Jessica introduced hues like a rich sapphire chenille on the sofa shown below right. This rich sapphire upholstery fabric is our exclusive Soul Mate #10 Indigo. Soul Mate (available in Canada only) is from our Comrade book, a sumptuous collection of casually luxurious chenille textures.

West Wing offers solid textures of luxurious plush cotton looks, polished flannels and elegantly lustrous velvets. It's a top-selling Maxwell Fabrics collection with almost 100 skus for designers to chose from. The below image shows the chair before the makeover on the left and the final result on the right.

Dog "Proof" Your Sofa with Maxwell Fabrics

Here at Maxwell Fabrics we often receive feedback from customers about pets and fabrics. For example, "My cat won't stop clawing at my new Maxwell Fabrics' sheers!"

Although we cannot control feline behaviour (and like to think that your cat has good taste) we can offer a few creative solutions from other customers.

For example, ART + Commerce Design in Vancouver needed a way to protect a Telafina mohair upholstered sofa from a little Scottish terrior. They used an outdoor fabric called Petit Puff #1915 Gravel and made a cover and two bolsters with an attractive, quilted and tailored look. It proved to be the perfect safeguard for the sofa. Best of all: the cover is washable! See the two images below.

MaxwellFabrics_Art+Commerce2_536x403.jpg

Petit Puff comes in nine colours and is from the Home and Garden Sahara collection. To learn more about caring for your fabrics please read our Textile Reference Guide.

Maxwell Fabrics Featured at HD Expo

Maxwell Fabrics continues to gain prominence and exposure as the preferred fabric supplier to the design community in North America, this time by partnering with Shelby Williams, a leader in the commercial furniture industry. Maxwell Fabrics worked with Shelby Williams to create an inviting and modern design booth at HD Expo, the Hospitality Design Expo & Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"Maxwell Fabrics supplied high-quality upholstery fabrics that worked perfectly with our vision," said Jordan McInturf, VP Sales for Shelby Williams. "We had a lot of great feedback about the furniture pieces from HD Expo attendees."

Maxwell Fabrics supplied three patterns for the exhibition booth. Seine 04 Wolf was used to upholster two side chairs. Winter Sky 1070 Cyan was used for the interior wedge part of the circular sofa and Times Square 111 Sapphire was used for the round drum seats.

MaxwellFabrics_HDExpo-534x474.jpg

The accessory pillows on the bench were covered in Rendezvous 03 Slate, Winter Sky 1070 Cyan and Seine 04 Wolf.

HD Expo is an annual trade show for the hospitality design industry with 900 exhibitors and over 7000 attendees. Maxwell Fabrics continues to be represented through ongoing strategic partnerships and at multiple showrooms across North America.

Reviving Vintage Furniture with Maxwell Fabrics

Maxwell Fabrics is experiencing a surge in upholstery fabric orders from designers looking to revive antique and vintage furniture. “Orders are way up from designers needing a very specific pattern for a vintage piece of furniture they found,” says Maxwell Fabrics Design Director Jennifer Apple, “Some designers are even asking for bright pinks or zigzag chevrons for a daring look.”

Chairloom located in Ardmore, Pennsylvania has a booming business restoring old furniture and calls on Maxwell Fabrics frequently to order solids - often choosing Gig Harbour or Mainstays- to revitalize their Danish modern furniture finds. Vancouver-based designer Margot Jagger ordered a denim pattern from the exclusive Maxwell Fabrics VIP collection  to bring new life into her client’s antique bench.

Reupholstering older furniture makes economic sense too. Purchasing an antique piece can be expensive but to find a run-down vintage chair in your grandmother’s basement and to have it upholstered in a funky new fabric is often cheaper. “With so many patterns and colors to choose from (over 18,000 at Maxwell Fabrics) the customer has the opportunity to make that it their own and completely unique,” adds Apple.
