Just when we have everything figured out, things change. The trends from Europe that influenced the American market were on a predictable schedule, what would translate was also predictable. Judging by the recent Cologne Design week, we are starting to strongly influence European style. It had to happen, Hollywood is, after all, the pervasive entertainment for the Western World. Clodagh and Fu-Tung Cheng were the first to bring us concrete as a luxury interior finish. Europe has embraced concrete as a refined interior finish with "concrete look" poured monolithic floors, thin concrete paneling ,countertops and furniture - fabulous looks all! Note the concrete look wall in a retail showroom in Cologne - also note the horizontal use of cherry veneer.Vertical wood grain is starting to almost look "dated" in Europe. This look should translate well to the American market.
