The Trend: Studs
What We're Used To: Bold, severe metal spikes with rocker flair or neat, rounded-off spots on Hollywood Regency-style pieces.
What's New: A subdued, tounge-in-cheek take on the look.
Who's Doing It: At the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, Jonathan Adler turned the studs into a matte porcelain motif, lending his signature happy chic wares just a little bit of edge. And designer Shawn Soh softened the studs by turning them pink -- but still keeping the metallic sheen -- on her inventive take on the hide rug.
