That $10m apartment was fascinating. A suit of armor? I felt like it belonged to Auntie Mame, or her modern-day equivalent.
I LOVED those Pantone chip-chairs at ICFF!! (they were set up as a sort of a "sponsored rest area", waves of these colored chairs at long low tables. Very cool effect, especially with a smattering of people (many as colorful as the chairs) perched atop them, drinking coffee, checking voicemail, etc.
That was one of the "display" highlights of that show for me...
I think I had as much fun seeing HOW exhibitors "exhibited" as I did looking at what they were exhibiting.
I was also grooving on those Pantone stools, but then I have a Pantone bag ("Spring Green") so how could I not?
Why was it so fascinating to look at celebrities playing ping pong? "Claudette Colbert plays ping pong with soldiers". Excellent.
that honey dripper really does look like a well-designed toilet brush. Not as appetizing when thinking about honey.
