Leading home accents brand Kalalou will introduce more than 100 new ceramics at the Las Vegas Winter Market (C-604). Well known for whimsical, affordable pieces in vibrant colors with exaggerated forms and a sense of fun, nostalgia, and playfulness, Kalalou’s newest ceramic pieces are set to appeal to both independent furniture, home decor, and gift stores.
“In the current environment, consumers continue to crave dopamine décor,” said Bradley Adair, creative director at Kalalou. “They are shopping for stress relief, and looking for fun pieces to boost moods, and spark happiness. This theme fits perfectly in with our new ceramic intros, which are all about creating a feeling of delight and celebration.”
“We have always been known as a leader in trendy, hand-painted, colorful ceramics. We have been investing heavily in new, creative sources from around the world,” said Josh McKay, vice president of sales and marketing. Our goal is to make it easy for retailers to freshen their floors and increase sales with fun designs that offer point of purchase opportunities, quick turns, and act as great conversation starters.”
Among Adair’s favorite ceramic designs this season is a set of three striped vases spelling “Hello” in English, French, and Italian. “Big, bold stripes and colors are important in fashion now, and word play continues to trend as people seek new ways to express themselves,” he said. Another standout is a set of three vases in the shape of ladies’ heads with sunglasses and fruit hats. “We offer our face vases in several variations, and their expressions have become a
really fun way to convey emotions,” Adair said.
In terms of ceramic motif trends, the creative director pointed to fashion accessories—notably footwear designs such as boots, sneakers, and Crocs with Socks pieces will be popular. “Everybody can see themselves in one or the other,” and the rise of foodie-favorite design continues, whether fruits (think lemons and watermelons), ceramic hamburgers and hot dogs, ice cream sundaes, or small cake trinket boxes, which can be “very giftable,” he added.
On the low-fire side, designers are leaning into the shift toward earth tones and sculptural designs, and Kalalou is stepping up with products coming from Central America and an assortment of terra cotta urns, compotes, and other clay creations in a spectrum of natural shades.
All the ceramics are eligible for Kalalou’s 40th anniversary promotion, with $40 shipping for all in-stock products, shipped throughout January. Customers can take advantage of the promotion at the Las Vegas Winter Market.
