The ability to stay connected 24/7 with your mobile device definitely has its benefits, but it can also be a little overwhelming.

Simplify offers an escape, through subtle details, clean lines, uncomplicated silhouettes, monochromatic color, lightweight fabrics and textures influenced by nature – all without sacrificing function.

The Simplify aesthetic is one that often appeals to sophisticated taste.

Whether it’s a vacation to a different part of the world or trying a new bike trail, Seek & Explore is about getting out, going somewhere and doing something.

With colors, patterns and textures that reflect cultural influences from destinations near and far, Seek & Explore appeals to that spirit of adventure.

But the influence isn’t just aesthetic. It might mean an iron-free woven that can be worn right out of a suitcase or a rugged HD Action Camera for capturing the adventure.

With each new tech innovation – whether it’s an ultra-lightweight laptop or a pair of computerized “smartglasses” – there’s a rush to have it first.

We call that influence “Tech-Tronic” and it features elements like translucent materials, geometric shapes, metallic finishes and functional fabrics. You might notice it in iridescent colors on a drinkware piece or non-silver reflective material that blends natually into a jacket.

These products are designed to offer intuitive function without compromising style.

This dark trend is a reaction to the artificial world created by television, social media and celebrity worship. For some, this new “reality” has created both a loss of identity and a lost sense of community.

Discarded isn’t about the liberation of escaping this gloom so much as the cold reality of resignation. The pessimistic mood is expressed through monochromatic color appications, distressed fabrics and grungy textures.

For some, doing what everyone else is doing just isn’t an option. As a result, these tastemakers are alo the ones who influence trends.

These are people who want products that look and feel more authentic, from an era before big-box stores and mass-production. The re-imagining of the past to create something new and modern is achieved with muted colors like olive, grey and red – brick and natural materials like wood, cotton, metal and glass.
