Spring Carnival with Noritake

Giddy up! The racing season is among us and this year it’s all about transforming fundamental colour basics into delicate and more tranquil pastel hues.
Spring 2015’s trend forecast highlights the creation of natural and soothing tropical landscapes. Opt for cooler and softer colour choices with subtle warm tones of Tangerine, Toasted Almond and Treetop Green. Take a cue from nature and follow a minimalistic en plein air theme using an ethereal mix of understated pastels and nature-like neutrals. Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of Pantone Colour Institute, says: ‘there is a growing movement to create quiet zones to disconnect from technology and unwind’. Use those soft colour hues to recreate a beautiful spring landscape, a soothing escape from buzzing city lights.
If you love Carnival fashion, bring sparkle to your table décor this season with Noritake’s favourite giftware collections:
