The International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York draws more than 500 exhibitors from over 30 countries and showcases the best in contemporary design. It’s a high-energy show that’s well attended by the design community from students to celebrity designers – all on the prowl for the latest new products, colors and concepts. Here’s what we saw:
High Style, Recycled
IceStone is known for their green, durable surfaces - made from 100% recycled glass and cement and certified at the Gold level of Cradle to Cradle™.
Sail Away in Comfort
With its sail-like shape, the Spinnaker chair simulates the feeling of floating on a cloud. And you can customize it to fit your décor — they will even use your old sails for added saltiness.
Iconic Chef Style, Redefined
BLANCO’s CULINA faucet offers a refined chef’s style with an innovative magnetic hook up feature. It’s easier to clean and fits beautifully into today’s more sophisticated transitional kitchen styles.
Tools at Schools
Tools at Schools is a learning partnership program between Bernhardt Design, Aruliden and The School at Columbia University. The result is a series of school furniture designed by kids, for kids. www.tools-at-schools.com
Softlight Clouds
Molo’s award winning soft collection of flexible walls, building blocks, seating and lighting exemplifies their exploration of production processes and experiential space making.
Modern Outdoor Living
Herman Miller's Eames Aluminum Group returns to its roots by creating a new outdoor collection that received the ICFF Editors' Choice Award for Best Outdoor Furniture. www.hermanmiller.com
To Infinity and Beyond
A first of its kind, this new tile drain from Infinity Drain incorporates tile or natural surface material to make the grate literally disappear from view.
Sculpted Relaxation
Hand sculpted from a single block of Carrara marble, the EAU Soaking Tub, by Stone Forest will make a stunning visual statement in any contemporary bathroom.
Functional Art
Lladró offers their new Metropolis collection that melds avant-garde building shapes with functional objects such as lamps, vases, mirrors and boxes.
Shapely Washbasin
Too pretty to be called a bath sink, the Laufen ILBAGNOALESSI One Tuna sink offers graceful curves in a white or warm grey finish.
