#ChezPeachy #InauguralReview #Bedsure @bedsurehome #OLoop Cervical Pillow #TheCitythatAbsolutelySleeps Introduces the OLoop Cervical Pillow: Two Sides. One Perfect Night's Sleep Recommended by Whom You Know

An innovative dual-sided ergonomic cervical pillow designed to adapt to changing sleep needs, delivering personalized neck support and natural spinal alignment for every sleeper.

Bedsure, rooted in over 50 years of textile craftsmanship and trusted by millions of Amazon shoppers, a leading home textiles and sleep solutions brand, today announced the launch of the Bedsure OLoop Cervical Pillow, an OEKO-TEX and CertiPUR-US certified ergonomic pillow created to solve one of the most common frustrations among sleepers: finding a pillow that feels just right.  Americans and Peachy Deegan absolutely need quality sleep and we can assure you without coffee or sleep we would not have been able to post 30,000 times.

Bedsure OLoop Cervical Pillow

Built on the insight that sleep preferences can vary from night to night, the Bedsure OLoop Cervical Pillow features a reversible dual-sided design that delivers two distinct comfort experiences in one pillow. One side offers a softer, more cushioned feel for relaxation, while the other provides firmer support designed to helps promote natural neck support. With a simple flip, sleepers can choose the level of comfort and support that best suits their needs each night.

The OLoop Cervical Pillow is particularly well suited for office workers and tech professionals seeking an ergonomic pillow for neck pain relief — especially who spend long hours looking down at screens, individuals experiencing neck discomfort or inconsistent sleep, and anyone who has tried multiple pillows in search of the right fit. It is also ideal for side sleepers and back sleepers who want both plush comfort and ergonomic support without having to purchase separate products. We will not reveal how much time Peachy spends looking at a screen but you can conclude it is A LOT, and she has tried this pillow and it lives up to expectations.

In addition to its reversible Soft and Firm design, the pillow features an ergonomic O-shaped contour and Bedsure's proprietary OLoop support structure, which cradles the head and neck while promoting natural spinal alignment. Zoned support across the head, neck, shoulders, and side-sleep areas — materials certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and CertiPUR-US — helps relieve pressure and maintain proper positioning throughout the night. Premium materials are engineered to retain their shape and deliver stable, long-lasting support, even as sleepers change positions.

Beyond physical comfort, the Bedsure OLoop Cervical Pillow is designed to provide peace of mind. Rather than requiring sleepers to adapt to a single fixed feel, the pillow adapts to their changing needs, creating a more intuitive and personalized sleep experience. This flexibility helps reduce the uncertainty and frustration that often accompany the search for better sleep.

Traditional cervical pillows typically offer only one level of firmness, requiring users to adjust to the product even when their bodies and sleep preferences change. The Bedsure OLoop Cervical Pillow reimagines this experience by combining adaptability, dual-sided soft-and-firm ergonomic design, and zoned support for neck pain relief — making it a standout cervical pillow designed to adapt to the sleeper, not the other way around.

Key Features:Reversible dual-sided ergonomic cervical pillow: Soft & Firm comfort modes

OLoop ergonomic support structure for natural spinal alignment

We asked Grok more about this brand, as it is totally new to us.

Grok said:

Bedsure is a privately held bedding and home textiles brand (primarily sold direct-to-consumer via its website, Amazon, and retailers), with no public shareholders or stock listing. It operates as a women-owned business (certified as such) with roots in a family textile legacy. The brand’s story traces back to the 1970s, when a young mother in China started an embroidery/textile business to support her family. That legacy evolved through several related entities into the modern brand. Key entities in the ownership and operational structure

Bedshe International Co., Ltd. (doing business as Bedsure): This is the entity that operates the Bedsure brand, website (bedsurehome.com), and handles U.S. sales/import activities. It is headquartered/registered in California (Diamond Bar/Walnut area) and is a limited liability company. It owns the Bedsure trademark and serves as the main international/export arm.

OtsuKeori (Wuxi) Textile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (also referred to in some records as related to Wuxi entities): Bedshe International is a subsidiary of this Chinese textile manufacturing company, which has decades of experience (roots in the 1970s–2000s entities like Tianyi Embroidery/Textile, Otsukeori, and Joyday Silkroad). This is the core manufacturing and product development arm.

Shinebed International (also called Shinebed Global E-commerce Co. or Shinebed International): This is the parent/group company behind the Bedsure brand (and sister brands like Breescape and Double Stitch). It is headquartered in New York City and oversees strategy, retail partnerships, and brand portfolio. 

Bedsure was launched under this group in 2016 via e-commerce marketplaces.

Leadership

CEO: Josh Zhu (also listed as CEO of Bedsure and involved with the group’s textile operations).

Summary of structure

Bedsure functions as a brand under a privately held, family-legacy Chinese textile manufacturing group with a U.S. subsidiary (Bedshe) and overarching international parent (Shinebed). It is not venture-backed or publicly traded, shows consistent internal growth (double-digit for years), and maintains full control through related manufacturing entities in China. No external institutional investors or complex ownership disclosures appear in public records.

This structure is typical for many DTC home-goods brands that started in manufacturing and expanded into direct consumer sales. Detailed shareholder percentages or internal corporate agreements are not publicly disclosed.

#ChezPeachy #DAYLIGHT ICFF 2026: A SEAMLESS INFUSION OF DESIGN, CULTURE, AND COMMERCE IN NEW YORK Under the theme Common Ground, ICFF 2026 brought together the international design community through a shared focus on craftsmanship and innovation

ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair), North America’s leading platform for contemporary design, returned to the Javits Center May 17–19, 2026, for a landmark edition that celebrated the global design community during NYCxDESIGN.  As usual according to Whom You Know the Italian Trade Agency and Business France were among the most impressive; Peachy Deegan would like to see a Made in the USA section in the future and also would like to see more engaging brand owners in person next time.

Guided by the theme, Common Ground: A Global Dialogue on Design and Shared Values, this year’s edition positioned design as a connective force across different cultures and design perspectives. Through international exhibitions, immersive installations, and expanded programming, ICFF created an environment that encouraged conversation and discovery across the design community.

“ICFF 2026 reflected the kind of thoughtful evolution we believe the design industry is actively seeking,” said ICFF Brand Directors Odile Hainaut and Claire Pijoulat. “There was a strong sense of engagement throughout the fair, from the conversations happening on the show floor to the depth of the talks programming and the quality of presentations from exhibitors. This edition demonstrated how design can bring people together while also creating meaningful business opportunities. We also saw continued momentum around emerging talent and independent design through the growth of curated sections such as Launch Pad and Look Book, alongside a particularly strong international presence from Brazil and India. Overall, the quality of attendees and level of engagement throughout the fair remained exceptionally strong.”

Attendees experienced an immersive floor plan conceived by RADS (Rodolfo Agrella Design Studio), resulting in a more elevated and intuitive journey throughout the show floor. The fair also unveiled new curatorial partnerships and mission-driven initiatives, including ICFF’s first-ever collaboration with Habitat for Humanity New York City and Westchester, reinforcing the role of design as a tool for positive social impact. The Parsons Healthy Materials Lab, led by Jonsara Ruth, presented a new exhibition exploring bio-based materials, healthier alternatives, and forward-thinking production processes through a dynamic series of talks and workshops.

Craftsmanship took center stage in the expanded Bespoke: The Art of Making feature, presented in partnership with Hospitality Design and the Mayfair Design District. At the center of the installation was the Bespoke Salon, designed by Post Company, an intimate and thoughtfully designed space that hosted live demonstrations, presentations, and daily conversations and drew strong audiences throughout the fair. Another standout installation, Rarify brought together original Bauhaus archival materials and contemporary production through a landmark collaboration between Rarify, Tecta, and the Bauhaus Archive Berlin in a first-of-its-kind presentation at ICFF.

WANTED also returned with expanded participation across Launch Pad, Look Book, and the Schools Showcase, reinforcing ICFF’s continued commitment to emerging talent and original design. The Look Book program, curated this year with Julia Haney Montanez and presented with media partner Dezeen, spotlighted more than 60 North American design studios, while Launch Pad featured more than 80 emerging designers and the Schools Showcase expanded to include 24 schools, its largest participation to date.

More than 110 designers, editors, architects, and thought leaders participated in talks and special programming across the Main Stage, The Oasis, Bespoke Salon, Aqua Atelier by GROHE, and the Juniper Recharge Lounge, drawing a huge audience over the three days. Conversations explored topics ranging from material innovation and affordable housing to sustainability, emerging technologies, and global collaboration.

Programming highlights included A Message for Mamdani, moderated by Julie Lasky of The New York Times; The State of Affairs in Design Media, hosted by Tiffany Jow of Untapped; and Design as Diplomacy: Soft Power, Hard Materials with Amit Gupta of STIR. The fair also expanded its Emerging Designer Spotlight initiative, developed in partnership with Clever and Amy Devers and sponsored by Danver.

As ICFF concluded its final May edition, the fair also marked the beginning of a significant new chapter. Beginning in 2027, ICFF will transition to a fall schedule, with the inaugural edition taking place November 14–16, 2027, at the Javits Center alongside BDNY. ICFF and BDNY will remain two distinct, independently curated trade fairs, each with its own identity, audience, and programming. Taking place concurrently at the Javits Center, they will deliver complementary experiences that together create a broader, more dynamic platform for the broader design industry. Announced only days before the fair’s opening, the move reflects years of industry feedback and a strategic evolution that aims to align more closely with the global fair calendar while establishing New York as a broader and more impactful design destination. Throughout the fair, exhibitors, partners, and attendees responded enthusiastically to the announcement and the opportunities the new timing will permit.

In partnership with NYCxDESIGN and Interni magazine, ICFF Night Out welcomed hundreds of designers, media, and VIP guests on May 15 for a curated series of evening events across NoMad and SoHo at the Flos, Lixil, and Moroso showrooms.

#ItalyPeachy #ChezPeachy @ceramicsofitaly Ceramics of Italy Brings New Applications, Collections, and Dynamic Programming to Coverings 2026

Over 50 Premier Italian Brands to Showcase Their Latest Products and Inventive Designs

in Las Vegas from March 30-April 2, 2026.

Coverings returns today with its 36th edition.

Ceramics of Italy is thrilled to return to the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, for Coverings 2026 - North America's largest international tile and stone exhibition - taking place from March 30 – April 2, 2026. Celebrating its 36th edition, Coverings brings together the global tile and stone community for four days of discovery, dialogue, and design inspiration, while continuing to serve as a critical moment for architects, designers, developers, and specifiers seeking advanced surface solutions. Organized by Confindustria Ceramica (the Association of Italian Ceramics), the Italian Pavilion in the North Hall will feature over 50 premier Italian ceramic brands, offering a comprehensive look into how Italian ceramic and porcelain tile continues to push boundaries across aesthetics, performance, applications and responsible production. At its center, the Ceramics of Italy booth (#1345) - designed by global architecture firm HDR - will once again showcase stunning Italian tile collections and act as a social hospitality hub for networking and gathering.

Featuring an open landscape that encourages conversation and connection, the destination serves as a meeting point to pause, meet, network and recharge while enjoying Italian espresso and pastries. Participating brands, including Appiani, Ceramica Vogue, Cotto d’Este, La Fabbrica, Lea Ceramiche, Mirage, Naxos, and Fila Surface Care Solutions, demonstrate the expansive possibilities of Italian ceramics across residential, commercial, and public spaces. The Ceramics of Italy booth will also serve as an information hub for announcements about exciting new campaigns and initiatives, featuring Ceramics of Italy’s new branded campaign, The Fine Art of Living, along with powerful platforms such as Destination: Cersaie, Ceramics of Italy’s signature delegation program. The program invites North American professionals to apply to experience CERSAIE, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings, taking place September 21–25, 2026, in Bologna, Italy.

Across the Italian Pavilion, exhibitors will reveal how ceramic and porcelain surfaces continue to evolve in response to changing design needs, offering a wide range of cutting-edge, versatile application solutions. From sophisticated drainage systems and removable shower trays, to new induction cooktops seamlessly embedded into porcelain countertops, prefabricated washbasins, vanities, dining tables, and furnishings, new product collections will illustrate tile’s evolution from a surface material to a fully integrated design solution. Additionally, emerging surface technologies that enhance performance, including anti-slip and anti-microbial features, along with ultra-realistic finishes, will continue to be at the forefront, while striking decorative and graphic effects that showcase tile as a form of art – along with the latest color trends featuring cool, desaturated tones and monochrome schemes – will make a bold impact.

Beyond the exhibit floor, Coverings 2026 will offer opportunities for professional exchange and learning. Danielle McWilliams, Executive Vice President of Novità Communications, will participate in the Global Tile Trends session on Monday, March 30 at 11:00AM in Room N250, examining international design movements through the lens of sustainability, wellness, luxury, and outdoor living. Afterwards, Mauro Rullo, Sustainability and Climate Policy Officer at Confindustria Ceramica, will participate in the dynamic panel “Leveraging Durability, Longevity and Adaptive Reuse to Position Tile & Stone at the Heart of Circular Design,” at 12:30PM in Room N250.

Ceramics of Italy will also host its annual International Press Conference, led by Confindustria Ceramica and representatives from the Italian Trade Agency. During the event, the launch of the inaugural 2026 Ceramics of Italy International Tile Competition will be announced, spearheaded by jury chairman Steve Clem, Principal at Atlanta-based architecture and design firm TVS. The impactful new format will aim to celebrate innovative uses of Italian ceramic and porcelain tile all over the world, recognizing exemplary projects that demonstrate innovative uses of Italian ceramic and porcelain tile across multiple building typologies.

Adding to the week’s celebrations, the 2026 Confindustria Ceramica North American Distributor Award will honor a distributor whose commitment and expertise have significantly advanced the presence of Italian ceramics in the North American market. The recipient will be recognized during a special aperitivo event.

With a strong roster of exhibitors, forward-looking applications, and a full schedule of programming, Ceramics of Italy’s presence at Coverings 2026 will set the stage for the year ahead in ceramic design.

#ChezPeachy #FloridaPeachy Kohler Showcases Innovation and Design Excellence at Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach

The kitchen and bath leader teams up with eleven acclaimed interior designers for the ninth-annual Palm Beach Show House

 Kohler is pleased to announce its continued partnership with the Kips Bay Decorator Show House as the exclusive kitchen and bath plumbing partner. For the first time ever, the Show House will take over two houses, and Kohler products will appear throughout both, displaying new introductions from the brand including the Kohler C2 Sauna, the Aquifer 4-in-1 beverage faucet, and the Synthos workstation sink.

"It's an honor to collaborate with such a talented group of designers and witness the thoughtful ways they incorporate Kohler products into their spaces," said Brittany Canniff Kimball, Sr. Marketing Manager, Brand Partnerships & Designers at Kohler. "Seeing their creative vision come to life is inspiring and we're proud to continue our partnership with the Kips Bay Decorator Show House while helping to raise vital funds that support youth in New York and Palm Beach."

Eleven design firms selected design-forward Kohler products for their spaces, including Robert Bell and Firefinish Interiors, who each created outdoor sanctuaries intended for contemplation and relaxation. Bell incorporated one of Kohler's newest offerings, the Kohler C2 outdoor sauna, a three-person retreat that fits perfectly into the landscape. Firefinish Interiors took a similarly nature-inspired approach in the cabana bath and outdoor shower area, specifying Vibrant Brushed Bronze finish from the Components Mix and Match faucet collection.

Designed by Amy Young Design and Yarn Design Associates, the two kitchens are conceived as spaces for gathering and entertaining, showcasing new products including the Billet touchless pull-down faucet and the Aquifer 4-in-1 beverage faucet, which provides instant ambient, chilled, near boiling, or sparkling water at the touch of a button. To evoke an "after hours" atmosphere, Amy Young Design selected a moody Matte Black finish, while Yarn Design Associates opted for Kohler's luxurious Moderne Brushed Brass.

Eilyn Jimenez of Sire Design created a primary bathroom and adjoining dressing room, inspired by 17th and 18th-century traditions where the act of getting ready was its own art form. This is brought to life through the Artifacts Mix and Match faucet collection in Vibrant French Gold and the Memoirs Stately toilet in the elegant Biscuit color.

Kohler's premium, artfully crafted colors can be seen in rooms throughout both houses, including the classic Dune finish on Memoirs Stately console and toilet in Danielle Balanis' bathroom, Tartan & Toile's use of sleek Translucent Doe for her Kallos glass lavatory sink, and the shimmering Translucent Dew finish on the Salute glass vessel sink incorporated by Alexander Interiors.

"Kohler is an integral part of the success of the Show House, and we're proud to continue our partnership with the brand," said Nazira Handal, Director of Special Events and Corporate Partnerships at Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club. "Kohler continues to push the boundaries of design excellence while continuing to support our goal of raising funds for more than 11,000 young people."

Since 1973, the Kips Bay Decorator Show House has raised millions of dollars for after-school programs in the Bronx. The event now includes locations in New York and Dallas, where Kohler continues to support.

Tickets for the Palm Beach Show House start at $50 and will run through March 24th, and will support the Boys & Girls Club of Palm Beach County, supporting vital programming for local youth.

Home and housewares products will play an increasingly important role in consumers’ lives in 2026, according to the 2026 International Housewares Association (IHA) At-Home Entertaining Survey.

The results, posted on the IHA’s independent news and information platform, HomePageNews.com, demonstrate how hosting at-home gatherings – whether to celebrate life moments or for no reason at all – continues to gain momentum, especially among younger generations.

The continued uptick in at-home entertaining will be on full display at The Inspired Home Show,® March 10-12 at Chicago’s McCormick Place. From small appliances to cookware, kitchen tools to serveware, products designed for entertaining at home will be just one of the categories attracting attention at the largest global home and housewares marketplace in the Western Hemisphere.

IHA’s survey shows that bringing people together in familiar spaces continues to grow in appeal, even after recent year-over-year increases. Twenty-eight percent of respondents anticipate hosting more at-home gatherings in 2026, a four point jump compared to 24% last year. Fifty percent said they plan to host the same amount, while 19% thought it would be less.

Younger consumers are leading the momentum: Gen Z tips the scales with 47% planning to host more at-home gatherings; Millennials are next at 39%. Gen X’s at-home entertaining intent declined by four points, while Boomers’ remained relatively stable.

What’s fueling the increase? The desire to spend more time with friends and family tops the list of motivations (51%). Having a specific event to celebrate is also a factor (37%). Saving money came in third, as entertaining at home tends to be less expensive than holding an event at a restaurant or other public venue (31%).

Other findings include:

* Clean-up is the biggest challenge for at-home hosts (31%), followed by preparing everything at the same time (22%), cooking (15%), planning (9%) and keeping food warm (7%).

* Half of consumers say they occasionally purchase products to create a certain aesthetic (23% said usually, 15% said always, and only 10% said never.)

* When asked what would inspire them to host more at-home gatherings, budget-friendly party ideas topped the list (46%). Recipes were almost as popular (45%), with party-specific theme ideas (32%) and general entertaining tips (30%) coming in next.

The Inspired Home Show, held annually in Chicago, offers media and the industry a first look at the products, innovations, trends and stories that will shape store shelves, e-commerce and everyday life. While not open to the public, #TIHS26 will bring together over 1,000 exhibitors and more than 2,000 brands with top retailers to reveal what’s next for the home.

Journalists are encouraged to register for The Inspired Home Show to cover the rise of at-home entertaining, more emerging trends, and the latest in new products for every room in the house.

A sample of key exhibitors including Brabantia, CUCKOO, Gibson Homewares (Calphalon/ Martha Stewart/Sur la Table), Gleener, Heston Culinary, IMUSA, Jura, Kitchen Supply, Kuhn Rikon, Lifetime Brands, Lodge Cast Iron, Made In Cookware, Nordic Ware, Peugeot, Picnic Time, Riedel Crystal, Salton, tag, Trinity International Industries, Storebound (Dash), Umbra and Westinghouse.

Methodology

The 2026 IHA At-Home Entertaining Survey was conducted by Morning Consult between October 31 and November 2, 2025, among a sample of 2,226 adults. The interviews were conducted online, and the data was weighted to approximate a target sample of adults based on age, gender, race, educational attainment, region, gender by age and race by educational attainment. Results from the subset have a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points, depending on the audience.

The International Housewares Association (IHA) is the 87-year-old voice of the home and housewares industry, dedicated to bringing buyers and sellers together. IHA hosts its premier global exposition of products for the home, The Inspired Home Show, in Chicago every March. Each year, the Show brings together more than 2,000 unique brands and 300,000 products with both global and domestic buyers; U.S.-based attendees alone represent hundreds of thousands of retail locations and over $64B in buying power.

New to the 2026 Show will be the SPLiCE Licensing Hub – a destination produced in partnership with the Society of Product Licensors Committed to Excellence – that will connect retailers and product suppliers with brands interested in licensing deals.

In addition, both the Pet Products Pavilion and the Candle Pavilion, which made their debuts at the 2025 Show, will return. Other popular destinations include the Pantone® ColorWatch Display, New Product Showcases, and galleries featuring finalists and winners of IHA’s Global Innovation Awards (gia) in Product, Retail and Student Design.

The Inspired Home Show also offers a comprehensive education program on consumer trends, market opportunities and specific subjects affecting the home and housewares industry. Education programming and product discovery are supplemented by networking events and award ceremonies.

2026 will mark the first year of the Show’s new Tuesday – Thursday day pattern. Following extensive feedback, IHA determined that the shift to midweek best aligns the Show with the industry’s evolving needs and expectations.
