[...] instead of just seeing brass on fixtures, handles and feet, it's becoming a look in and of itself, with large pieces like beds, dressers and tables fashioned entirely out of the metal for a look that's over-the-top glam. Asian-inspired home décor has been fashionable since the days of Marco Polo, and this year the Moroccan and Islamic accents that have been popular of late have given way to a bold, modern interpretation of classic chinoiserie. "A blown-up scale and a bold color palette makes that strong Asian influence more current," said Lisa Roth, owner and principal at Montgomery Roth Architecture and Interior Design. Outside of the classic prints, chinoiserie influence can be seen in the pagoda-like shapes that are adding interest to mirrors and lighting and in some geometric applications, which have lately evolved from basic Greek key to more complex Asian-inspired patterns on frets and appliqués. Originally invented in the 18th century as a way to ship furniture quickly and without damaging it, the signature brass corners and handles of campaign chests (and dressers, and desks) make them perfect for the current design moment.
