PANTONE to Unveil 2016 Color of the Year at AmericasMart

The 2016 PANTONE® Color of the Year comes to life in its global premiere presentation at The Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Market® this January. The color, and PANTONEVIEW® home + interiors 2016 color forecast, will be the inspiration for the PANTONEDesign Exhibition, to be unveiled at the Market.

Seven acclaimed interior designers and tastemakers: Robert Leleux, Shaun Smith, Jamie Durie, Michael Habachy, Tami Ramsay, Janie Hirsch and Heather Hogan Roberts will each design a vignette in the Building 1, Floor 14 gallery inspired by the PANTONEVIEW® home + interiors 2016 color forecast using products sourced from AmericasMart showrooms.

Trend vignettes that showcase the soon-to-be-revealed PANTONE Color of the Year 2016 will also be created for the lobbies of AmericasMart Buildings 1, 2 and 3 by talented designers Michel Boyd and Kristin Alber of REstyleSOURCE to showcase the vast range of product at the nation’s only global wholesale marketplace.

“We are thrilled to partner with AmericasMart Atlanta for the PANTONE Design Exhibition this January. As the leading Market for designers, retailers and buyers alike, we know Atlanta is a natural fit for showcasing the PANTONE Color of the Year 2016 and PANTONEVIEW home + interiors 2016 color forecast,” says Laurie Pressman, Vice President of PANTONE Color Institute. “AmericasMart’s signature vignette design exhibition presents an unrivaled and unique opportunity to see first-hand how the color trends will be reflected throughout the home and gift industries in the year ahead.”
