趋势四：-有机和金属材质结合生活方式和奢华风

Wearable and long-lasting characteristics can be found in the materials such as linen, silk, cotton, mixed-fiber, and even high-tech fabric, which play a significant role in the High Point Market. 

考虑到很多人过着快节奏的城市生活，高点展各大家居品牌产品主打有机和金属材质，预测2017年自然和城市生活融合的国际软装发展趋势。许多展出的材料都具有耐磨和持久特性的特点，比如亚麻，真丝，棉，混纤，甚至是高科技面料。这些材料是本次高点展的绝对主力。

In contrast with the feeling of softness, Market attendants make a series of home decorations hard and bold by materializing luxurious brass, metal and silver. Especially, this kind of metal texture is featured in good quality, simplicity and neatness.
