Enter the exciting new world of textiles for a flair of tone and color that is replacing a once routine selection of accessories. Designer modern room details are making news with an artistic flair that was once thought reserved for the stylish elite. No longer does one have to accept the same design and material pumped out by the millions to compliment a room.[I:5:J]
With the 21st century, a new and creative group of designers are leaving no stone unturned when it comes to adding pizzazz to home decor. Swedish award-winning artist, Lena Bergstrom, led Swedish textile manufacturer, Designers Eye, into the millennium with soft, appealing designs, perfectly bringing an air of opulence to any living room group or rooftop garden. The felted, virgin wool in simple, yet elegant floral shapes or horizontal stripes have been noted throughout the world.[I:0:J]
TV and Film Art Director, Madeline Rogers, is another inspiration to gaiety in accessories with her company's, Mibo, line of fine products. Pillows and lampshades stand out in any room with large, blossoming floral designs in modern day eggplant, grays, greens and reds. Inspired by the British seaside resorts with their brightly striped lounge chairs, Mibo can change any setting into a day at the beach with handmade pillows, stuffed with allergy free filling.
Modern Basics is located in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and was the brainstorm of two friends who worked together at a product development firm. Sharing attention to detail and a love of textiles, Page Ikeda and Rhonda Holloway started Modern Basics in 2001. Table coasters, crib bedding and pillows are their popular items with simple designs in blues, browns, reds and greens. Stylish and fun is the motto of this twosome and it shows in everything they make.
The Japanese have had a traditional type of seating for centuries that is referred to as the zabuton. Unlike American culture, the zabuton is a pillow type floor mat made out of natural muslin fabric. Because this mat is used daily and in the place of chairs, they are made to last an average of eight to ten years. Americans have become intrigued with this 'seat-cloth-sphere' (zabuton translated) and they are beginning to appear in homes across the US. The muslin fabric can be covered with any type of fabric to match the decor of your choice and will stretch its life even further.
Choices in modern accessories are huge and expanding even more each day. Decorators are experimenting with exterior fabrics of chic, colorful blocks, paisley and plain suede to reflect all types of styles. Pillows that are round, rectangular or square are gaining popularity in homes and offices to set the mood in furniture groupings. Comfort in style with pillows is a modern day theme not likely to end soon. - 14915
