We’ve entered the Blazing 20’s, igniting change and starting a new beginning. Inspired by an era of vast change, this trend focuses on a return to social, artistic and cultural dynamism.

Featuring an optimistic color palette including sunrise hues, this trend symbolizes an energetic movement and the celebration of a new day. With a nod to the whimsical fashion and culture of the 1920’s, this trend highlights a return to Art Deco with a combination of varying lines and curved shapes.

How would you use the Blazing 20s palette?

Curious to see more Stacy Garcia x Brintons collaborations? Check them out here.

Partnering with Bells + Whistles, Brintons produced 615 square yards of unique Axminster carpets for Animae San Diego.

Inspired in part by an ancient remote forest on Japan’s Yakushima Island, a bespoke Brinton’s wool carpet stretching the length of the 6000 SF room mimics the sun-kissed forest floor as custom noir terrazzo snakes like a shimmering river alongside it.

Barbara Rourke, Founder and Creative Director of Bells + Whistles, graciously let us in on the brains behind this beauty of an installation.

Brintons has partnered with Hospitality Cares in their venture to offer a helping hand to those affected by the COVID crisis.

Founded in 2009 by Michael Schneider, President of Next Events + the late Helen Marcus of Zenith Rugs, Hospitality Cares is a non-profit organization that targets hospitality professionals in need.

Hospitality Cares collects money, product and volunteer time + redistributes to individuals incurring job loss, housing or medical conditions.

There are multiple ways you or your organization can get involved. With returning to the office full-time is still up in the air, there are tons of empty spaces containing tools that are sadly collecting dust. Hospitality Cares took this problem and ran with it – creating a solution for companies (like ours) to donate unused technology to be paired with an industry member in need.

Johnny Massey, VP of Operations for Brintons Americas explains: “We have all been impacted by the pandemic, in our corporate and personal lives, some people more than others. Brintons is devoted to the Hospitality market as it’s been a large part of our business for years. By sending in physical equipment, these individuals will be able to utilize these benefits immediately and start to work toward rebuilding their futures.”

Outside of rallying corporate response, you can also get involved on an individual scale. Our VP of Sales, Cori Walthers recently stepped up to the plate by volunteering her time coordinating fundraisers. Their first being a light-hearted “Pie In The Face Challenge” in hopes to sweep awareness across the industry and cause a few belly laughs along the way.

The challenge kicks off with founder Michael Schneider taking a pie to the face at the hands of his children. Tune in Thursday, January 14th at 4:00 EST on the @hospitalitycares Instagram for a good laugh!
