For the Month of May we’re reflecting on the return of movement in our lives with the theme of ‘Poetry in Motion’ – focusing on how active movement can be beautiful, purposeful and engaging.
Integrated movement was a new sensory element throughout the most recent High Point Furniture Market, a bi-annual tradeshow featuring 11,500,000 sq. ft. of showroom space.
Furniture with motion and often hidden controls was seen across many vendors at the show. Universal Furniture debuted a new line of motion upholstered pieces meant to look like traditional furnishings as did Four Hands where comfort and design merged. Baker introduced a line of customizable home theater seating with motion.
The swivel chair also re-emerged, gaining new life as a key style statement. Design has responded to our ever shrinking attention spans with intentional movement that surprised and delighted us.
In casegoods, furniture manufacturer BDI (known as an office and entertainment outfitter) expanded into bedroom furnishings, bringing the convenience of tech and sliding components into a new space.
