ICFF part II.
Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 06:02AM An ICFF wrap up [part II] of a refresher kind...some existing designer faves with some new+good to share...
It seems the a common thread this year is simplicity in artful form. No overwhelming abundance or excessiveness in implementation. Quite refreshing.
Molo.
image courtesy of molo designMolo Design had a great showing of their new soft wall and soft block LED light partitions/blocks.
Mio.

The Mio booth. Replete with eco goodness. Their Naked [shelving] Line includes new, customizable panels.
Also new is the Loop by the Yard, a spun bonded polyethylene [ie Tyvek] paperslashfabric that includes a postage paid envelope to return once you are through with it's use.
Mio's ideas here for use ::
Josh Jakus, whose apt use of felt I've long admired, just came out with the new line FUZ.
I love the placemats and napkins hugs. paperdolllike positive/negative space play; boy/girl shape in the center of that mat creates the napkin "hug." Available in rubber or wool felt. Everything flat packed to minimize waste.
Anne Kyyro Quinn.
On a larger felt scale, anne kyyro quinn was there with her wondrous architectural textile applications. A new take on her first pattern, laine.
I really love bloom. Knowing that colors and scales are customizable, my mind starts to wander into all the potential...


I love the screen printed color on the inside of hoop.
Ferm Living.
Danish company Ferm Living [translating to "clever living"] has new [clever] wall paper patterns and cute kids items to boot .
Fashion wallpaper. who doesn't love silhouettes?
Animal Farm wall stickers and RushHour bedding
Areaware had an eclectic collection of their equally eclectic wares.

like the "seconds" series of dishware.
I didn't see this at the show, but I love love the still life bowl.
k studio.
Artist Shelly Klein of k studio used inspiration from her own paintings to create a line of embroidered pillows, bags and wall art.

cute/fun
last but not least...cool + simple rain catcher from Toronto based Hero Design Lab & their 365 series.

I opine that to get the loan from banks you should present a great reason. Nevertheless, one time I've received a secured loan, just because I was willing to buy a house.
