ICFF Wrap-Up

This week we visited the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York, and got a sneak peak at the newest modern furnishings. Here, a few of our favorite sightings. Keep in mind, the pieces exhibited are not yet available for sale (snd some may not be available in the U.S. anytime in the near future). But they are still fun to look at! Desk American design house Herman Miller introduced a couple of fun new desks and office accessories. Vitra_chair This new chair from Vitra has a great silhouette and is extremely comfortable. Molo_lights Molo is finally going forward with these Urchin lights, which are so cute. You can manipulate the shape to be taller, squatter, etc. Table Spanish company Swalaline exhibited a number of cool and colorful furniture pieces. This table-and-chairs set is so fab, but sadly, there are no plans to sell it stateside just yet. Richard_schultz Richard Schultz, makers of cool sixties outdoor furniture, introduced a collection of "wingback" outdoor chairs in an array of bright colors. (There are pads, too, to make them a bit more comfortable.) Sva_booth This booth belongs to the School of Visual Arts in Philadelphia. Their students took Ikea chairs and interpreted them to express personality traits, like Stupid, Paranoid, Ambitious, etc. The giant chair makes you feel like Alice in Wonderland. Embroidered_chair This British artist makes one of a kind embroidered furniture by punching holes in reclaimed wooden pieces and stitching them with thick yarn. We want one!
