The concept of sustainability is not just a process about us; it is about everything around us. Sustainability needs to become an overarching core belief that includes the cost of bringing the world’s foods to our tables, ensuring respect for all living creatures, and reconsidering the product life circle to include beyond “end-use.” Waste is part of life and shouldn’t be wasted. We have to use all of what we consume.” CMG North American Report F&H 12-0304 TPX F&H 16-1334 TPX F&H 14-4311 TPX F&H 18-1454 TPX F&H 15-0146 TPX F&H 19-4110 TPX F&H 17-1210 TPX F&H 12-0304 TPX “A warm off-white that knows no time and has the ability to adapt to its surroundings. As subtle as dust floating through a beam of light, it becomes self-aware as a color that can visually caress a moment in time, a piece of art, or a simple accessory.” CMG North American Report Otus sandbar F&H 16-1334 TPX “Beige emerges as a statement of color beauty. It represents the ideal endgame of recycling and sustainability but is also inspiring in its simplicity. A classic beige with a subtle red influence, it is grounded and moves beyond being a background color to a fresh, renewed appeal.” CMG North American Report Cicero taupe Cicero F&H 19-4110 TPX “Dig deep and you will find the newness that resides under the waste. A dark blue influenced by green, it is inspired by the depths of trash heaps, and our inner selves, to create beauty from whatever we find, wherever we find it. “ CMG North American Report Grafton teal F&H 18-1454 TPX “No longer a color of decay, this deep orange is an impetus for inspiration and change.

With no clear vision of what our long-term future will be, we live in fear of the unknown. What started with renting the new Badgley Mischka dress for a big event has now evolved into a movement to accept the non- permanence of things. Like a short-term snap chat story, these heavy subscription formats allow the freedom to take risks with little fear of failure.” CMG North American Report F&H 13-0939 TPX F&H 17-1224 TPX F&H 19-1652 TPX F&H 19-1322 TPX F&H 19-3952 TPX F&H 13-0939 TPX This hue is a symbol of the freedom afforded by our current nomadic lifestyles, allowing us to constantly seek new experiences.

CMG North American Report Akio Sissal “Circles #LIT400” Steve Litvak mural F&H 17-1224 TPX “Mid-toned, orange-influenced brown represents the human connection to the earth, and each other.
