Funky Fairytale Furniture

The Lando Gingerbread Collection is Whimsical

— October 16, 2011 — Art & Design
The Lando Gingerbread Collection will inject a bit of whimsy into any home, granted in a rather uncommon and funky way.

The furniture line is inspired by traditional Caribbean architecture where 'gingerbread' structures are known to be used to recreate a fairytale ambiance. Although steeped in tradition, there is a contemporary aesthetic to these pieces that make them perfect for modern families and individuals.

Designed by Paola Navone, the Lando Gingerbread Collection is a "mixture of rough shapes and elegant frames upholstered in vividly colored materials, a mixture that has theatrical touches yet looks almost childlike," as Captivatist so aptly puts it. The popularity of fairytales in modern society will make the Lando Gingerbread Collection a sure winner.
Trend Themes
1. Whimsical Furniture - The trend of injecting whimsy into furniture designs presents opportunities for designers and manufacturers to create innovative and unconventional pieces that stand out in the market.
2. Mixing Traditional with Contemporary - Blending traditional designs with contemporary aesthetics offers opportunities for creativity and new takes on classic designs to appeal to modern consumers.
3. Vivid Colors and Playful Shapes - The use of bold colors and unconventional shapes in furniture design is a trend that can attract younger, more unconventional consumers and open up opportunities for experimentation and creativity in design.
Industry Implications

2. Interior Design - Interior design professionals can incorporate whimsical furniture designs into their projects to add a playful touch and create memorable spaces.
