feel (or at least look thru) new fabrics

Found a beautiful slideshow of fabric photos from the Maison et Objet home furnishings trade show outside Paris (a la nytimes.com). Sample photo above but you have to check out the entire photo series. The texture of the fabrics are exquisite - like you can feel them off the page/screen. Does anyone else sense a strong Asian influence - kiminos, obis, weaves - in the fabric treatment and pattern/motifs? View Slideshow >>
