"Every fall, the New York Tabletop Market previews the most prestigious designers&amp;#039; and manufacturers&amp;#039; patterns for spring. The five-day display of dishes, barware, silverware, serveware, and decor in all shapes, materials and styles is almost too dizzying to digest\u2014unless you are a style insider like Christina Norsig. We sent Norsig, our savvy scout and CEO/founder of etabletop.com, on the prowl for the prettiest patterns and the freshest trends\u2014and she did not disappoint. &amp;quot;This year&amp;#039;s show was really inspiring,&amp;quot; says Norsig, &amp;quot;it had a definite point of view for up and coming design directions.&amp;quot; Here&amp;#039;s what she found.  \u2022 Fuchsia Dominates  This season&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;it&amp;quot; color was clearly a bold fuchsia with hints of pinkish red.  \u2022 Leaf Motif Elements found in nature were prominent with a particular focus on ivy vines and leafy green patterns.  \u2022 Gold Remains  Metallics are stronger than ever with updates in more glamorous golds and super shiny accents.  \u2022 Scientific Detail Traditional flowers took a backseat to sprouting seeds, tree fungi, and wild mushrooms.  \u2022 Soft Symmetry Geometry takes a turn and a rounded edge this season. Linear patterns lose a prior rigidity and find a fabulous femininity.  Browse our gallery of a look into next spring.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
