Last month, hundreds of choice manufacturers descended on Pier 94 in New York City to display their wares at the annual Architectural Digest Home Design Show. Fortunately, we had the opportunity to cruise the floor in search of products and trends that represent today's cutting edge in home design. From sculptural pieces crafted out of natural materials to innovative interpretations of classic designs, contemporary style permeated the scene. Here, we take a look at the popular themes, along with the products we feel deserve "Best in Show" designation. Enjoy!

• tactile treasures: Touch and feel! Furnishings with texture make a splash.
