ICFF

A few pictures from the ICFF show! I spent  almost a whole day browsing the furniture show labyrinth. It was visually over-stimulating and at times I thought if I was a buyer (owner of a furniture store), I would have hard time focusing. I just looked at it from a consumer perspective: "would I buy this for my house?". I wouldn't lie, there were a lot of pretentious pieces that don't stand a chance in real functional world and would only be accessible to the top 1% . But, I looked at these as museum pieces:) Eye candy has it's definite place in a world.

Here are some things I'd like for myself:

• Milk gone bad night lamp from Bombo land! Check out this awesome illustration portfolio of Maurizio Santucci (artist behind this lamps) on bomboland.com.

• The ceramic Wellington boots just made me laugh. They look super neat, but they wouldn't survive a day at my house:) Made by Czech company Qubus. They could serve the purpose of a vase or just stand alone as a sculpture.

• I don't know how practical the sheep rocker could be (I invision jam in it right away) but it sure looked cute! They made by CC12. They had a ton of other interesting objects at their booth.

• I loved the colorful  OFFECCT booth. That stripy lamp would feel right at home in my bedroom:)

• BrentComber coffee table (wood sculpture) has caught my eye right away! I want to know exactly how it's made. Neat!

• IANNONE eco-friendly modern design booth stood out with their unique cork inlay design. Just beautiful!

• OryZa furniture. Ah! Playroom material! Too bad they don't have a website (I find that strange). These fiberglass tables and stools are total candy! I love Japanese design:)

There were so many interesting things, but Grace from D*Sponge did such ace job on covering the show that it would be redundant to go on.
