At the New York Market —

Utilizing a range of traditional and nostalgic fine and folk art resources, Tweel Home Furnishings offers expanded collections in the kitchen and tabletop categories this market — and some contemporary looks in decorative pillows.

The placemat collections offer strongly colored but relaxing, resort- and rustic-oriented designs: Italian Sunset, Bellinis, Tres Amis, and Café Arles. The mood of each style ranges from nostalgia to whimsy.

Tea towels, oven mitts, aprons and related kitchen textiles are available in four collections.

Harvest Fruits, by Art in Motion, offers classic country pastels.

Baroque brings to life the winery lifestyle. The Big Salad offers the sophisticated frivolity of artist Dan DiPaolo, and Welcome to Summer features happy backyard bugs in friendly florals and dot patterns.

For dec pillows, the mood is altogether more modern. Asian is an influence, with silhouetted botanicals by Melissa Pluch a key statement. Also offered in the Riverdale line: a beach-friendly collage set with bright contrasting colors.
