Beata Klecha, VP of Marketing at Element Designs, has been checking out the show floor this morning and photographing some of the most compelling and innovative exhibits in her eyes.
Below is a black matte and wood office setup by Geiger. Klecha was particularly impressed by the dark gray heather tack board. Black matte continues to be a prominent design trend in 2019.
The next picture submitted by Klecha features new occasional tables by Studio TK in various metallic finishes. According to Element Designs, these finishes are one of today’s primary design trends, with growing prominence in kitchen, bath, living and bedrooms across the world.
Klecha also photographed the below image of a HermanMiller Eames lounge chair, inspired by the classic Vans checkerboard print. The famous shoes are seen beside the chair here.
