2017 Catalog (vol 1) press check continues. After checking color and how heavy or light the ink is, the last thing to check is the registration (how each color laid down is interacting). If it is misregistered type can look fuzzy and images seem out of focus a bit. The loupe is there to help see the dot. #gldglove #printingtips #neednewglasses

FRAGMENTATION
“Geometric
patterns are loosening up in a move that both rewards and challenges the eye.
Pop Art and Op Art influences are evident, as is a kinetic, perhaps frenetic,
vibe that seems to underscore the pace of everyday life.” - High Point Trend Watch
High Point Market is coming up and makes us think of IMC’s
Trendwatch. One of the upcoming trends that IMC is exploring this year is
Fragmentation. We started exploring it ourselves last season with our bold and
graphic Inlay collection (shown top right above) and other pieces.
Fragmentation can be within a piece but also in
the design of the space. Fragmentation is all about breaking up the grid but
still keeping everything cohesive. Taking unrelated or contrasting forms and
patterns and putting them together to make a united design. The display of the
pieces can make just as much impact as the piece itself.
Take the Cell Console with Marble Top (shown middle right above).
The non-symmetrical base supports simple
objects to create a visually interesting focal point without taking away from
the rest of the room.
Pattern play a huge part in fragmentation since it is so
closely related to the grid. Mixing patterns or breaking up spaces with pattern
is an easy way to add activity to your design. Using a simple patterned rug or
wall piece will complete any room.
Come check out our great selection!

Want natural elements in your design but not all the mess?
Indoor gardens are becoming more and more popular. From
Jungalow style (photos above) to green walls they are a great way to add
natural details to your design. A potted plant, a grass in an urn, a succulent
or orchid arrangement all have details that will enhance your design without
taking up much space.
With real plants comes real responsibility. Live plants take
time and care to keep them looking their best. Not
just keeping them alive by watering but clipping, shaping, and cleaning.
If you want the natural look but not all the mess, permanent
botanicals are the way to go. We have great custom designs and plenty of stock
options available that require no upkeep or watering. We
take nature as inspiration and strive for the most beautifully realistic
permanent botanicals around. The permanent arrangements are designed by our
horticulturist to appear how the real plant would act in nature.
Get yours today!

Ito-ya and Gold Leaf Design Group
Ito-ya's Special Request
We love Japan. Darren's even run a marathon there. We also love Ito-ya. A magical store of paper, design, and stationery, Ito-Ya shares the same love we have for Charley Harper. For their new flagship store they wanted to create something truly special. They wanted something sleekly modern with an appreciation of the past. What better than a personalized clock featuring a glockenspiel and a one-of-a-kind Baffling Belly Charley Harper sculpture?
We worked with Ito-ya and Seiko to upscale our Baffling Belly decorative sculpture. The originals are all hand-carved from a single piece of solid wood, but this one would have to do something the smaller models cannot do....move. This red-headed woodpecker had to turn its head and peck to mark the time. Drawings and specifications were exchanged and the model was delivered.
The next step was the movement construction and sound tests. Several materials with different resonances and tones were tested. The clapper's movement had to be synced up with the bird's movement...as you can see in these tests.
The result is a wonderful design that perfectly fits the aesthetic and feeling of Ito-Ya. We are so happy to be part of this project. Working closely with our customers to create unique pieces is one of our favorite things. And, of course, creating creatively design-forward decorative pieces is another. :-D
