  • Stokke Movement - This classic design unearthed! Expensive, at over $300, but the best of it's class. The entire collection of wild designs is available through Designs for Comfort in Needham, MA.

    Loved the sofas from Built... But the Acid green couch from Bernhardt/sean Litrell was pretty amazing also... as well as that dramatic brown love seat the Italians had.

    I also loved seeing Brent Comber, the man behind those crazy-beautiful Alder wood cubes...

    On the K Studio embroidered pillows... there was this whole trend in the past couple years at -scope art fair and The Armory Show to use embroidery as an artistic medium. K Studio's end result wins out by far ahead of the actual artists, even though K set out to create something much more functional.
    (mgr-- when I saw those pillows, I remember thinking "I bet Maxwell would really like these!!)

    I have to say that the best part of going to ICFF was actually AT-related... having seen so many great spaces through the Contest and house tours, I found myself "virtually shopping" for other people's homes... "Hey, Marlon would love that! Oh, that for Enrique! This would be a great accent for Paul! This would be great for Cedric's color palette/finishes! This would sit next to RR's Prouve lamp quite nicely!! Jamie pup would loooove these handles!!"
    fun, fun, fun!

    I love Stokke. I bought one of their Tripp-Trapp (now KinderZeat in the US) reconfigurable chairs for my niece when she was a baby and she still uses it and loves it.

    You're noting so many things I didn't notice that I'm beginning to feel like I didn't actually attend ICFF, even though I did. Admittedly, I was there with slightly shady credentials--having failed to receive an AT press pass, I borrowed a friend's pass for the day and walked around pretending to be a playground designer.
    My favorites were the little things, like the want/need glass and the freewy map tiles and Battleship napkins. And the Danish felt chairs. I don't care if felt and birds are so over--I like 'em.
    And re the B Bros. dreadful chair, isn't it nice to see that even the maestros hit an off note sometimes?

    Pat(too) seemed to have found an excuse for his shopaholic behavior. I only have one question, how come you didn't think about finding something to go with my white bedroom. I am feeling left out.

    Chucky--
    Um, the seventy two itemized suggestions I already made haven't satisfied you?!?!?
