WORDS: Annemarie Meintjes
VISI 55, our Wood issue, was smack-bang on trend. This was proven again at the recent Tendence 2011 trade fair in Frankfurt, where raw wood featured prominently.
When we say “raw”, we mean seriously raw! Take a look at the Bauholz designs in the gallery above to see for yourself, and visit their website at www.bauholzdesign.com for photos of more products.
The omni-present flirtation with nature and all things green and organic was big news yet again. The Forest Collection by MeroWings, featuring realistic 3D photo images printed on fabric and used to cover seating options for indoor/outdoor living, stood out from the crowd. Think logs, tree seats and tree trunks!
The clincher? Five percent of sales go to OroVerde in aid of rain forests. Visit www.merowings.com for more info.
