With the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in its final throes, I’m here with a report from the inside (V+P has been stationed at Javits for the show, proudly representing Dornbracht and Turnstyle Designs) on what, in my opinion, is the finest, fab-est furniture fair in the US.
There was a great buzz at the show, and the excited, always-stylish crowd swarmed booths for a look at everything from hyper-modern dollhouses to startlingly beautiful wallcoverings to Endangered Species erasers.
The thought of my polar bear slowly disappearing as I use him to correct mistakes brings tears to my eyes.
There seemed to be less cool stuff for kids this year, though I loved the colorful, indestructible-looking Magis furniture, and the
aforementioned Emerson dollhaus from Brinca Dada.
Brinca Dada definitely wins the award for best literature, with a brochure that folds out into a little plaything.
There also was some seriously beautiful furniture, of course.
And finally, as child of a packaging professional, I could not resist these corrugated creations from Gray Pants
Thanks for the memories, ICFF. See you next year!
