The Canadian Home Furnishings Market 2011

From January 15-18, over 300 exhibitors united to present featured products and unveil new collections at The Canadian Home Furnishings Market 2011. Notable trends include the introduction of industrial furniture to the mainstream. While finding authentic vintage industry pieces can be time consuming, featured manufacturers combine reclaimed materials from the past, such as weathered wood and worn metals, to recreate vintage pieces that are unique and full of character. Try introducing a restored factory cart coffee table or a industrial iron and wood bookcase to infuse a bit of industrial nostalgia into your space.

Stay tuned for the innovative new trends I discover at Maison et Objet in Paris!
