HPMA Releases Summer/Fall 2021 Style Report

July 21, 2021  by Laurie Northington in Business Strategy, Designer Weekly, Industry   

The 38-page Style Report, sponsored by Studio Designer, was produced by eight influential trend trackers, all part of the HPMA’s 2021 Style Spotters team, who perused an abundance of new product introductions to capture the season’s upcoming styles.

Highlighting natural elements and several nods to texture and the tactile experience, the Summer/Fall 2021 Style Report covers 19 key trends for the upcoming seasons. From “Green with Envy” to “Snug Life” to “Sultry Sculpture”, among others, the report features 80 products from 48 different exhibitors. All trends can be accessed and downloaded from the High Point Market website.

“Our dynamic 2021 Style Spotters team embodies the best qualities of our industry. In this report, you will see eight unique design perspectives, a razor-sharp focus on design trends, and an ear for the stories behind the extraordinary products they discovered. You will also see the vibrancy and innovation displayed at Spring 2021 Market, a true testament to the resilience of the home furnishings industry after an exceptionally difficult year,” commented Style Spotters Advisors Gary Inman and Shay Geyer in the report’s intro.
