FIRST LOOK is ANDMORE's premier products and trends program, highlighting exhibitor products to buyers through relevant themes/trends each market cycle. Review the trends below and submit relevant products for consideration.
FANTASY
FIRST LOOK’s color showcase for Summer 2023 examines tech hues drawn from immersive, surreal, and abstract visuals, experiences, and concepts … think AI design, otherworldly landscapes, gaming, and interactive shows. In FANTASY, energizing pinks, purples, greens, and blues, plus optimistic mid-tone pastels, adorn both personal and home accessories. Walls and floors present fantastical patterns, while furniture is modern, yet comfortable. Expressive apparel and personal accessories, meanwhile, underscore confidence and youthful glow.
WHAT TO SEND: Media consoles; small-scale desks; upholstery, especially in light neutrals, white, sand, and top accent hues; wall decor; area rugs; accent pillows and bedding; decorative accessories, especially glass; lighting; and personal accessories, including totes, backpacks, shoulder carry-alls, and apparel. Additional cues: linear patterns, matte finishes, glass, low-luster metallics, verdant landscapes, and contemporary floral patterns.
REALITY
FIRST LOOK gets real with a kitchen/dining/family room backdrop that imagines an influencer’s work space. Routine tasks — prepping food, making ice, applying make-up, cleaning, organizing, folding — are built up in REALITY to become compelling content streams with broad reach. Earthy neutrals and retro, food-inspired hues culled from ’23/24 color palettes are a canvas for this livable, lived-in vignette that elevates the everyday.
WHAT TO SEND: Dining furniture; upholstered seating; accent tables; family-friendly area rugs; housewares; household cleaners; personal care; accent pillows; tabletop, especially dinnerware, glassware, and table linens; toys; and decorative furnishings done up in warm neutrals.
