Looking around Christmasworld and for the first time really notice some diversity. Kids of every skin colour. And also butch girls and femme boys. And actually some nude Santas. Everyone is welcome. @christmasworld.frankfurt @messefrankfurtsverige #christmas

First day at Ambiente was fun. I focused mainly on tableware and kitchen. Noticed two things. Graphical patterns in black and white. Some call it ”folk art” But regardless, it is graphical. Then colour matching. Main combo is blues and greens But colours in general. Tableware might even have different colours on outside from inside.Tags in pictures. @ambientefair #ambiente23

Hanging out with Ballograf and playing around with their colours. Started with first set which is based on the trend Wood Kick. Then continued with Star gazer and purples with turquise. But Wood Kick was nicer, especially when you add a apricot crush hue. @ballografab @ambientefair #ambiente23 @ncscolour #storatrenddagen

Do you remember the banana hammock? Not it is time for a fruit shelf. ”Because it makes the fruit more fresh”.
