Products purr, colors roar at Housewares show.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Diane Goldsmith
CHICAGO _ To soothe or stir?
Two competing visions for the home emerged in products introduced at the International Home & Housewares Show, which ended last week.
Quieter vacuum cleaners and air purifiers, illuminated color-therapy displays, and pillows that played relaxing nature sounds bowed alongside a riot of color in small kitchen appliances and accessories.
About 60,000 manufacturers, store buyers and distributors gathered over three days to show and tell and perhaps commit to products that will pop up in stores over the next few months.
At KitchenAid's booth, a colorful display of stand-mixer casings arranged in rows evoked childhood memories of opening new boxes of crayons.
At Dualit, the company's toasters, so iconic in chrome, stopped some visitors in their tracks when shown in 13 shades, including pastel pink, yellow and celadon.
