I just returned from ICCF at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York and thought I would share some highlights from the show.
I also returned with some literature, brochures, pamphlets, samples and CD’s. All will be made available in the Library.
This year’s show had designers, manufacturers, and representatives of contemporary furniture from over 34 countries. Their was strong representation by the Italian, Norwegian and Spanish manufacturers as a result of their respective Council sponsorships. For a complete list of exhibitors and their websites, visit here.
The Japan Pavillion was particularly interesting, with a whole section of the floor devoted to 120 different products of Japanese design.
Additionally, Design Boom hosted a group exhibition of international design professionals from around the world, exhibiting everything from the quirky (two love dolls that snapped together, front-to-front) to the eco-practical (absurdly priced reusable napkins) to the fashionable (belt buckles).
If you have any questions about any items listed or non, please feel free to ask. I would be more than happy to help you research.
