Barclay Butera Home Showcases a Modern Blue-&-White Beach Theme with Strong Traditional European Influence at Spring High Point
LOS ANGELES, CA (April, 2006) Traveling tends to have a profound influence on creative minds.
Having spent weeks in Europe this Fall often with antiques dealers and touring manors lifestyle designer Barclay Butera was re-inspired by the traditions of that continent.
Results of this will be seen at Spring High Point, where Barclay Butera Home (BBH) will be located at IHFC Interhall H159.
As always, Butera does not let any one era or style dominate, but mixes his latest experiences with what he does best: blending furniture and pattern-on-pattern fabric designs and textures to create warm, elegant and casually glamorous spaces where people enjoy gathering.This Spring introduces a few new pieces, as well as new fabrics, which traditionally play a key role in Butera reinterpreting his classic pieces.
The showroom updates his trademark beach mix of blue-and-white in incredibly current, elegant and fresh fabrics.
He incorporates animal prints to elevate expectations of simple blue/white themes, having seen the impact of such prints in European homes.
The overall look is transitional with a slightly more traditional edge, and everything continues to be clean, tailored and detailed.

The Lowly Vinyl Banner is happy to take your abuse
In the hierarchy of advertising and promotional media, the lowly Vinyl Banner has to be one of the most under-rated of them all. Often viewed as a temporary substitute for a real sign, or a cheap backdrop when you can't afford something better, vinyl banners rarely gets their due.As with most things, changes in technology have had a big impact on the vinyl banner. Just four or five years ago if you wanted a durable and weather-resistant banner, the production guy had two choices. He could either print them one color at a time using a silk screen process, or he could generate self-adhesive letters and manually stick them down on the vinyl backing. The limitations of both these processes are pretty obvious.
They are both time-consuming, amateurish, and usually too expensive. Including company logos, photographs, or special typefaces could only be done with much work and considerable expense.Until recently graphic designers and advertising people ? the creative types who like pretty...
