The Black and White Global Trend

These beautiful graphic black-and-white contrasts of flowers, dots, stripes or Broque patterns are conquering all areas of design - they are on most shop window, they are the obligatory part of every collection in fashion, interior design textile, carpets... Like an obsession! But I see here also a fast and easy way to look stylish - at home with your furnishings, or outside with your new clothes.

I like very much this new carpet by Floor-to-Heaven and this Pure Floor Lamp by Stonegates Designs.,

Pierre Frey's Mersina (below) - acrylic and cotton black-and-white jacquard, with timeless stylized flowers, that draws inspiration from the traditional indigo clothing worn by the women of the ancient Chinese Miao culture.

GRUPPO SINTESI and Twiggy by Foscarini, shown at Cologne this year, are only a small part of the exapmples that confirm this trend.
