Showcasing Luxe
By Wanda Jankowski

Tamara Lockman stands by new offerings from her company, T. Lockman. The modern patterns of throws in cashmere and wool blends by U.K. decorator Suzy Hoodless complement the classic stylings of the company’s Nina Campbell line rendered in the same materials.

Animal print is alive and well in a bedding ensemble from Home Treasures.

Highlights from the Fine Linen market in Atlanta’s AmericasMart

Luxury linens took center stage in March at AmericasMart’s second annual Atlanta International Fine Linen & Home Textiles Market. The event allowed retailers and buyers to shop both showrooms and temporary exhibits while keeping up on trends from special presentations on interior design and decorating by Jane Seymour and Kathryn M. Ireland.

Seymour shared her design secrets and explained how to help your customers find their own sense of home style with examples from her book “Making Yourself at Home.” California-based interior and textile designer Ireland revealed her philosophy of design along with examples of her work from her new book, “Classic Country.”

Shown are product highlights from showrooms and temporary exhibitors. The next Atlanta International Fine Linen & Home Textiles Market takes place at AmericasMart March 14-16, 2009.
