Missed the Las Vegas Summer Market? Don’t worry, we’ve rounded up the best of the season.

A sneak peek into the hottest trends at the upcoming Las Vegas Market.

 The technological revolution heralded the rise of the Internet and the ability for businesses of any size to operate virtually, thereby increasing competition for everyone in the same industry. In 2016, global e-commerce sales totalled $22.049 trillion and are only expected to increase in 2017. While these numbers are incredible and compelling, it is the relationship formed when both the online and offline communities are streamlined; becoming clicks-and-mortar, that holds the most promise. 

We’re half way through the year and there couldn’t be a better time to review statement-making trends taking over the design world! Here are three trends we are embracing:

Whether you’re shopping for a new upholstered furniture piece, or simply interested in brushing up your furniture vocabulary, we’re here to help define some of the most common terms you’re bound to come across.

Deborah Gear is known for creating stunning spaces that feel inviting and comfortable, all tailored to meet the design needs of her clients and their projects. Her ability to build honest relationships with clients and deliver projects on time and on budget are also just a few of the reasons she’s enjoyed more than two decades as a successful design consultant and studio owner.

Few things are more exciting after months of hard work than the triumphant proclamation of adding a new collection to the Sunpan line, except perhaps the announcement of TWO new collections! We’re pleased to debut the Moncasa and Solterra Collections.

Known for its architecture, colour, tropical climate and much more, Palm Springs has become a haven for the style-inclined. Every February design lovers make their way to California for the city’s annual Modernism Week which showcases mid-century modern design through multiple events; it is the ‘It’ place to see and be seen.

Set the stage for love and romance this Valentine’s Day with special accents, sumptuous fabrics and, of course a hint of red. Here are Sunpan’s top 5 lovestruck designs this Valentine’s Day.

A coffee table is one of the hardest working furnishings in your home and while you may not have given it much thought, it is certainly more than just a place to rest your coffee! Whether it is home to your books, magazines or other accessories, we’ve got some tips to help you find the perfect one for your space.

As usual, this season’s market was a design-filled five days of fun that went by all too quickly. Now that we’re back it’s time to highlight the three key trends having a major moment in the spotlight.

We curated the top five must-have apps for interior designers that can help streamline the design process. There are so many apps available to help you create the perfect space – all you need to do is unlock your smart device! From layout planning, to paint selection and finding inspiration, there are countless uses for these programs. Below we’re sharing some of our favourite and most-used apps to save you time and make communicating design ideas easier.

The perfect layout for a space is like well-composed music. It has flow, it takes you places and it makes you feel good. 

With 2016 coming to a close we thought it would be the perfect time to share the trends we loved this past year. From materials to colours, we’re highlighting 4 trends we couldn’t get enough of.

In recent years bar carts have taken off in the design world, and for good reason! They’re a fun and versatile way to dress up your entertaining space, and highlight your personal style. Whether you are going for a contemporary, transitional or urban look, it’s easy to set the tone with a mix of decanters, glassware and fashionable accessories. The party will be sure to follow wherever these stunning bar carts go!

Sideboards can be used for storage, as a buffet for parties or to display a collection. We’re declaring the sideboard a focal point for dining spaces and as such, it deserves to be styled to the nines!

Here are three ways to style sideboards depending on the design of your space.

We’re saying good-bye to Serenity and Rose Quartz and getting ready to welcome this year’s new colour - Greenery! The zesty shade is described as a "tangy yellow-green" often seen in flourishing foliage, hence its name. The colour authority Pantone predicts it will be incorporated into home décor trends, fashion and more in the year to come. 

Make the most of your walls! Great wall art can tell a story, express your personality, and provide interest or even drama for your space. Not sure where to begin? In picking out art we say go with what you love, have fun, and take chances. 

Once again, High Point Market continued to inspire visitors and showcase trends – the energy was electric! Now that’s it’s wrapped up it’s time to highlight four fab standouts from our Sunpan Showroom.  

Check out the trends you can expect to see taking over our High Point showroom this fall!

Inspired by details that bring warmth, comfort, and beauty we’ve fallen in love (head over designer heels in fact) with channel tufting. From sofas to upholstered beds, to dining chairs and armchairs, channel tufting is lined up to be one of the biggest trends hitting showrooms this fall. 

Concrete – sexy, sophisticated and, most of all, unexpected. Concrete is the new black.

With it’s unique industrial feel, concrete is quickly becoming the must-have home design trend. And if you have reservations about concrete’s place in your home, don’t worry! There are plenty of ways to incorporate this modern concept in a chic and contemporary way from subtle accents to making a bold statement.

Just when we thought the Hot Seat couldn’t get any hotter, in walks Victor de Rueda, a designer based in Mexico with taste that sizzles! 

 Halt! And abandon all preconceptions, expectations and assumptions about what it means to make beautiful furniture, because you are about to get your mind blown. Please enter now, through the Irongate.

What happens in Vegas… winds up on the blog of course! Including run-ins with some of the talented retailers and designers who bring the beautiful, contemporary furniture we produce at Sunpan to clients around the world.

Imagine yourself in a quiet space. Now surround yourself with clean lines, beautifully upholstered seating, and hard goods featuring finishes that include glass, stainless steel and warm-tones that inspire you to breathe in the good – and forget about everything else.

Merchandising a showroom or retail display is kind of like getting ready for a first date. You might be a natural stunner, but if you show up in your favourite pair of sweats and a wrinkly tee, chances are you won’t attract more than a passing glance — and a second date? Completely out of the question.

We love learning what makes our designers tick, so when we had the chance to sit down with the fabulous Yvonne Whelan of Yvonne Whelan Design, we took the opportunity to pick her brain about everything design. 

This year’s market was a big one for the team here at Sunpan. As Christopher Cross and Donny Osmond rocked the outside of Showplace 1200, more than 120 new-to-market items made our permanent showroom sparkle like never before.  

 Opening Day at Market

The DJ was pumping and the floor was thumping as our team at High Point kicked things off with a bang! The afternoon was loaded with an assortment of culinary treats, including gourmet desserts, sparkling wine and food that was (nearly) too beautiful to eat.

The fervour and energy that filled this year’s market was tangible, as both buyers and designers arrived in droves to see what was on trend for the upcoming season.

In Showplace 1200, breakfast was served bright and early and the wine was flowing merrily from our fabulous (dare we say famous?) bar. We welcomed more buyers than ever, delighted to see a mix of familiar faces and new designers scoping out our new collections, including 5West and Ikon.
