icff 2010Well,my original idea for my ICFF post was going to the "The Good the Bad and the Ugly".But as soon as I pulled close enough to an "Ugly" booth, I would be besieged by sweet and eager people looking to sell their "fabulous" wares.It was just too much... I felt kind mean, and they were just so nice.That and the fact that I had to actually talk to them about their"disaster" made it too much to bare.SO,Here are highlights of things I simply liked, or got my attention,mostly in a good way....Tom Dixon seemed to be the star of this years show.He seemed to be everywhereand this "lamp factory" was great.This is what I should have bought for 150....GET BACK TO WORK CHILD!!!!His cubist crystalline enamels were nice too.A mess of stools.In the flesh.Some weirdness in the German booth.This is by Jonannes Hemann.He is looking for a producer, or so the sign said.It reminded me of Max Lamb.DetailSteffen Kehrle AltelierMore Max Lamb memories for some reason.Nice, in a brutalist way.VERY German.Not very German,yet German.Kai Linke"I am ready for my close-up Mr. De Mille"These things were so STUPID.Yet, I had to take a picture, so they win!Poor fish.Nice face for my collection.Old idea,but nice execution.This is the simplest of these designs I have seen.I'd much rather have this one though....I know someone who has two.Fucker.Good jobUfuk Keskin and Efecem Kutuk!(I'm not even kidding!)To prove I'm notClick here.This woman's silk designs were really great.This was a sample collage of all her designs.Nice job,Morag Macpherson!I wish this was a joke,but it's not.Nice job with the packing tape Design Stockholm House!Herman Miller is reissuing some of the Nelson Case Goods.Yawn.I'm yawning again.Plus, the finish was TERRIBLE.Come on Herman Miller, get it together.There were a lot of "demonstrations" going on.This one at Artek included a Swedish RockabillyUpholsterer!He was great, see him off to the left?Why an I so chicken to take pictures of people!?AUBOCK!New and old in the Austrian Booth.Nice.This was in the Yale booth.I liked it.One of 2 prototypes.Nice job person who I can't find the card of...I mean,NICE JOBTimothy NewtonB.A.,B.
