HAUTE HOUSEWARES: A world of colors Part 1 of 2

Perhaps more than any other home products indus- try, housewares is plugged in to what consumers are doing, what they want and what they buy. When the annual International Housewares Show rolls into Chi- cago each spring, as much of a draw as the products on display are dozens of informative panels. This week, we will look at color and style trends, while next week we examine innovations in shape, health and technology in housewares. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pan- tone Color Institute, looks a couple of years out at color trends. This past March, for the first time, there was a fo- cus group comprised of that coveted millennial group, which represents 92 million Americans, the youngest starting college and the oldest in their mid-30s.
