We’re exploring the intersection of art, design, and hospitality seen at this year’s High Point Market.
As the fall season continues on its way to winter, High Point Market once again sets the tone for what’s next in interior design. By extension, the trends we see at such markets portend what will shape hospitality spaces in the year ahead. This year’s show reflected a collective desire for warmth, authenticity, and connection to both people and place. Here are three key themes we’re seeing influence art and design direction:
Organic Silhouettes
From furniture to sculpture, fluid forms and softly rounded lines took center stage. Pieces felt approachable and tactile, emphasizing comfort and the beauty of imperfection. Natural woods, stone textures, and matte finishes created a grounded sense of calm—an aesthetic that translates beautifully into curated art programs that bring serenity to guest spaces.
Global Influences
Cultural craftsmanship and cross-continental inspiration defined many collections. We saw French refinement balanced with African artistry, Japanese minimalism harmonizing with Cambodian rainforest motifs. The blending of these global perspectives is inspiring a more eclectic, story-driven approach to art—one that celebrates both tradition and discovery.
Sustainability in Focus
Eco-conscious design has evolved beyond trend status into a fundamental expectation. Reclaimed materials, plant-based textiles, and low-impact production processes underscore a shared commitment to responsibility. In art, this translates to working with artists and fabricators who prioritize sustainable methods and materials—proof that beauty and ethics can coexist seamlessly.
At Kalisher we see these movements not as fleeting trends but as a reflection of the values shaping hospitality design today: inviting cultural connection and environmental mindfulness. As we translate these themes into art programs for hotels and resorts, we’re excited by how they invite guests to feel more connected—to nature, to craft, and to the world around them.
