<p>Oh my gosh, what a time I had in Atlanta! I think I will be on visual overdrive for some time as I make sense of everything I saw. My first incredible find was <a href="http://carsonandco.com/" target="_blank">Carson &; Co.</a>, exhibiting near the entrance to High Design.</p>
<p>This North Carolina-based textile range encompasses silk scarves, handbags, pillows and lamps, all inspired by the natural world — and all incredibly mesmerizing. The designs, infused with colorful flora &; fauna, are meticulously created by Susan Carson. It was nice to start the show off with a big swoon and a big hint of the photorealism trend that was in full force.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13323" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/carson_5.jpg" alt="carson_5" width="800" height="1067" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13320" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/carson_2.jpg" alt="carson_2" width="800" height="1067" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13319" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/carson_1.jpg" alt="carson_1" width="800" height="1067" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13321" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/carson_3.jpg" alt="carson_3" width="800" height="1067" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13322" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/carson_4.jpg" alt="carson_4" width="800" height="1067" />Right next door was <a href="http://mitchellblack.com/" target="_blank">Mitchell Black</a>, who has introduced wallpaper — and what patterns! I find it hard to commit to a favorite — the Mid-Century Modern (AKA MidMod) patterns are amazing, but so too are their Art Nouveau designs. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13324" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/mitchell_2.jpg" alt="mitchell_2" width="800" height="1067" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13325" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/mitchell_black.jpg" alt="mitchell_black" width="800" height="1067" />The final swoon of today is the <a href="https://www.olivergal.com/?gclid=CLSb6NW-uMoCFRCGaQodMvAGYQ" target="_blank">Oliver Gal Artist Co.</a> The South Florida lifestyle brand is spearheaded by sister artists Lola Sánchez &; Ana Sánchez Gal. Their enchanting art collections do exactly as they promise — transform blank walls into grand-scale, high-style canvases. In the piece below, you can just make out that the surface is the frame is white with the woman&#8217;s silhouette — the fabulous florals peek through from behind.</p>
