Woven Fibers
This year an emergence of crocheted fashion and fiber art are taking over the runway and our homes. The use of natural fibers and these handcrafted styles provide a sense of nostalgia while remaining modern and cool.
“You can mix fiber art with any existing artwork, or it can stand alone. Opt for a custom, handmade woven piece for your wall instead of another photograph or traditional art.” –Jill White

Sculptural
Sculpted visuals are all about a strong line. Although a timeless element of design, this season more structured pieces are emerging for the home, especially the closet.
“The strong line of the pottery lids, the dress shoulders and the mobile shapes all create structure and highlight features of the artform whether it be the body of the vase, the actual human body or the element itself.” –Jill White
