For our annual Products issue, we’ve gathered our usual varied and colorful array of items new to the hospitality market, plus some proﬁles of and interviews with designers we’d like you to know. As usual, all of it is under the direction of our products editor, Jana Schiowitz, who has been increasingly visible in the marketplace as a trends expert and prognosticator. I’ll let Jana tell you more: “I think we as individuals have shifted from over-abundance and trendiness to accept and introduce simplicity and longevity into our lives. This has transcended to the marketplace and the hospitality industry as a whole. Maybe it was the state of the economy or maybe it was global development, but whatever made us stop and think about what’s important in life and the world around us has changed how we look at design, feel about design, and how we design in general. When going through the many product and project submissions for our fourth Products issue, we found a reoccurring inspiration source— our Photo by Oscar Einzig surroundings. Through the pages of this issue, nature seems to be driving force behind patterns, colors, and material choices. This issue will introduce you to designers whose playful products bring fun to hospitality spaces; features that call out unusual objects; and a vast products section with things that speak to the environment, permanence, and a bit of whimsy for that smile factor. So the next time you are looking for something to spark new interest, take a look outside. It just might be there.” And speaking of new, we invite you to look on page 28, where you’ll ﬁnd a letter from Liz Sommerville, group show director of HD Expo and HD Boutique. Every issue, Liz will offer an update on what’s happening with our shows, and keep you abreast of new developments in the marketplace. Welcome to our pages, Liz! Enjoy the issue.
