In today's turbulent economic times, this flashback to the'50s is leading one of the top trends in design for 2009. Representatives from Stone Mart explain that, "Calacatta Gold isparticularly reminiscent of the past as well as Bianco Venatino and ThassosWhite. They are all the color white which was extremely popular during the50's; it has remained consistently popular recently and will continue into2009." The stone experts at Stone Mart also suggest that fresh trends for 2009will embrace the rebirth of retro design and style, and that we are'revisiting mid-century colors' with an influx of color palettes thatinclude more neutral, soothing and lighter colors than previous seasons.
