The Exclusively Show (which was held on June 13 and June 14 at the Business Design Centre in London) has revealed the ‘best of the best’ on trend products for the coming 18 months and more, courtesy of trend forecaster Scarlet Opus.
The products highlighted as ‘setting the standards in terms of concept and design’ are:
• Kiln Accents by Denby
• Aaira Surface Multi-Purpose Cleaning + Disinfectant System by DH Lifelabs
• Tramontina GURU Smart Cooktop by Tramontina
• Cast Iron Shallow Casserole in Sea Salt by Le Creuset
• Bundt Pans, Cakelet Pans, and Bitelet Pans by Nordic Ware
• Multi-Function Boxes, Insulated Travel Tumblers, and Thermo Pot by black + blum
Scarlet Opus said: ‘Denby’s new Kiln Accents collection was selected for its warm, earthy tones and comforting hues. The ochre, rust, slate, and taupe colours are reminiscent of powdered spices such as turmeric, cayenne, and ground peppercorns. They work particularly well when stacked or layered on top of each other.
‘The shapes are extremely versatile – they can be used for many different practical and decorative purposes all around the home, not just limited to kitchen and dining areas – and are robust enough to be used and enjoyed every day. All pieces are safe to use in the dishwasher, microwave, and freezer, as well as in the oven.’
Launched at Exclusively, Kiln Accents is a studio pottery-inspired collection featuring unique glaze effects with layers of pattern and texture. Each piece is hand-crafted by Denby artisans in the heart of England. The collection includes rice bowls, small plates, and small and medium pots.
Commenting on the emphasis placed on trend forecasting at The Exclusively Show, Exclusively Chair Will Jones said: “Knowing what consumers want next, enables suppliers and buyers to source more of what will sell. It helps de-risk buying for retailers, informs and inspires merchandising, and helps retailers be the best they can be and enjoy a more certain future.”
