I'll be honest, I wasn't feeling inspired at the start of the year. As it often goes in December, you get so much of your fill of new and exciting things that when January 1st comes around, you find yourself in a creative dearth.
However, as January progressed, my coffers were refilled. Events like Paris' Maison et Objet and Deco Off offer an early-year hit of inspiration, for example, and as the world thawed from the festive season, it's been a month surprisingly abundant in launches, new projects, and movement in the design world.
