Those visiting the 2007 Housewares trade show earlier this month were greeted with eye-catching
pastels and bright primary palettes replacing the traditional colors of the kitchen. One color, however, really stood out from the crowd: pink.
Products in pink ranged from spatulas to microwaves. Brands such as KitchenAid and Cuisinart carry their own distinct pinks, but each hue links them not only with a color trend but also with breast-cancer awareness.
These two companies, plus many others offering pink products, are donating a portion of their sales to breast cancer charities.
Other trends of note:
- bamboo, with the focus on eco-friendly products
- silicon in eye-popping colors and shapes
- bringing the outdoors in and the indoors out
