Banquet at the National Stationery Show 2011


WGSN-homebuildlife reports live from the National Stationery Show in New York City, with three emerging trends:

Nautical nostalgia: Large masted ships, simplified anchors and nautical themes were given the retro treatment.

Vintage bicycles: Simple bikes are an important graphic in vintage shapes, paired with handlebar baskets and flowers.

Bold geometries: Graphic and colourful zigzags are a geometric trend, joined by rectangular trompe l'oeil repeats.
