This weekend we were scouring the ICFF show in order to bring our clients the latest and greatest in contemporary design. While I’ll bring you a complete run down of our faves, I thought I’d first share the 2010 ICFF Editors Awards with you, which were bestowed in 16 categories.
The ICFF Editors Awards Ceremony took place during the 22nd annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) last night at the ICFF Exhibitors Reception at New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. This year’s ICFF Editors Awards Committee: Arlene Hirst, Anniina Koivu of Abitare, Jessica Johnson of Azure, Stefano Casciani of Domus, Sam Grawe of Dwell, Gilda Bojardi of Interni, Chantal Hamaide of Intramuros, Susan S. Szenasy of Metropolis, Benjamin Kempton of Wallpaper*.
The winners circle:
Body of Work
Blu Dot, Booth 1808
We’ve been a fan of Blu Dot since their inception in 1997. Don’t miss their brilliant “one good chair” video I brought you last year.
New Designer
Objeti, LLC, Booth 1657
Studio Dunn, Booth 1972
While not my favorite design, I do love the dual function possibilities of this line. Especially for NY City-dwellers.

**** Our Fave!!! Furniture

Great Design, great story. Mabeo is a furniture brand from Botswana, Africa.
