ICFF…
Skaggs | Wednesday, May 28th, 2008 @ in the late afternoon
The biggest event of the New York Design calendar ICFF hit the city last week. The massive 145,000 net square foot show hosted work by the familiar faces of Vitra, Kartell, moooi, Tom Dixon… and many many others, including my favourite picks from Areaware, Inflate, Danish Crafts and Refined Sugar Studio.
It was also great to see student work showcased; including MFA’s IKEA sponsored chair project, which challenged students to re-purpose a basic chair based on specific assigned personalities. Fun work.
My highlight was the DesignBoom DesignMart. Giving up-and-coming designers the chance to show their wares, DesignBoom selected just 40 designers, each only allowed to bring 100 pieces, priced up to a maximum of 0. My personal favourites included Mixko’s butterfly felt rings which I adore and suckUK’s continuing humourous approach to products. See more photos from my snap-happy day on our photosite.
