design obsession: peacock

(Source: Wikipedia)

This iconic bird is the driving force behind many products and interiors that have been surfacing in recent months.  Although it seems to be trending lately, the peacock’s reputation and influence has spanned generations.  Respected in many cultures and religions as a symbol of love, compassion, knowledge, patience, and virtue, it’s bold colors are intriguing yet inspiring.

Now to part dos of my Dallas Market Trip.

The Global Views showroom was my absolute favorite.  They did such a great job of putting together their displays and color stories.  Plus their line of goods is just phenomenal.
