Gerald Celente is one of the foremost trend forecasters. He expects the emphasis going forward in this economy will be on Quality and Style. He believes that today’s economy is like the 1930s, a time when people dressed to the nines and danced to the hottest, happiest music. A period of affordable sophistication! What better time to take note of our newest advertiser SaraPalacios Designs.
The proud owner of any of Sara Palacios’ pieces knows with absolute certainty that there is none other like the one they own. There’s an evocation of The Renaissance and the Baroque eras infused with elements of modernity and the avant-garde.
Each panel of fabric in her creations is viewed primarily as a work of art, which, in turn, is made into functional objects; window coverings, pillows, wall hangings, tablecloths, lamp shades, upholstery, chairs, sofas, etc. A wonderful dialogue results from her fabrics on upholstered pieces, whether traditional, transitional or contemporary.
While most of Sara’s designs are sold at retail, she does have an interior designer policy. Interior designers share their specific color palette with Sara who then provides hand-painted samples from which the designer can choose. She may work with pieces brought to her by a designer seeking an upholstered piece in her fabrics that will create a unique accent to a room.
Cuban artist Sara and her husband Rodrigo Palacios arrived in Los Angeles after spending four years in France and Italy. They hand paint silks, linen and cotton resulting in textiles that are transformed into one of a kind pieces. Their designs have been featured in Home Accents Today and they have collaborated with Cisco Home and an American interior designer and fashion designer Kelly Wearstler.
Sara and Rodrigo would like to think that collectors of their pieces do not want to be bound by trends, but want to express their unique selves by surrounding themselves by art. Isn’t that what quality and style are all about?
