New York - ICFF

Back from New York with a few blisters, but had a great time despite my shredded feet. Still have some images on my lap top, and won't be able to grab them until my computer is fixed, so for now here are some sights at the ICFF in New York.  This is a fair size list!

Tom Dixon had a "Flash Factory" (debuted in Milan) where "factory workers" assembled Etch, a brass and stainless steel light and candle holder.

I didn't get back to get a shot of their booth but this company, Snow Peak, was one of my favourites at the show. It's been around for decades. Since I love camping, I might just invest in some of the pieces.

Timorous Beasties is a company out of Scotland. You have to check them out.  I love the lamp shades and wallpaper.

I've always loved Deborah Bowness, so it was great to meet her. She was shy, so I didn't force her to be in the pic! Love this wallpaper.

I know, you've seen them a million times, but I will always love Eames chairs. They were showing the new colours. They make me happy. We saw Eames Demetrios, Charles and Ray Eames' grandson, speak at ABC Carpet and Home. Cool guy, but more on him later!

Fun collection of candle holders, lamps, vases and mirrors. The Parrot Party Collection is by Lladro Atelier.

Hand blown glass light fixtures by Caleb Siemon. Beautiful colours.

Kerf Design creates custom cabinets and furniture that can be installed or you can do it yourself. Love the colours they use. They had a cute kitchen set up that had a vintage look. Sorry, don't have a pic of that, but do check out their site.

Hanna Tonek Bonnett is adorable, and so is her work. Her 'saga' vases and tea cups are especially lovely. The vases are textured on the outside, printed on the inside. Click here for more info.

Metropolis is a fabulous publication and so was their "booth". An Airstream. It was a happy site.

I can't find my pics of the Molo booth, so I think they might be on my laptop. Oh well. Their booth was chosen "best booth" at the show. It was incredible. They're a Vancouver based group - yeah! Image from here.

I love Florence Broadhurst. She was a wallpaper designer from Australia and her designs are now in rug form. They are sold through Cadrys an Australian company. If you don't know about Florence, click here. Quite an incredible story.

That's it for now! I'm going to post some more NY pics on Friday. Have a good night!

Baked on Monday

Well, maybe. I know I didn't actually bake it. I'm still in NYC, my 2.5 year old MacBook Pro died and the recipe for my cake was on it. So I thought I'd post this pretzel until next Monday. It was pretty tasty, and I'm trying to look on the bright side as well as take my mind off the fact that my computer died at such a young age.  Grr. Apple, I'm mad at you.


Other than that little blip, it's been heaps of fun here in NY. Will post some pics of the ICFF on Wednesday. There was some pretty great stuff there. Until then, have a lovely day!

New York City

I was hoping to get so much more accomplished this week, but it's kind of flying by. I did manage to re-open my etsy shop, but still have many more images to add to it. I guess there's always next week.
I'm going to NYC tomorrow for the ICFF, so I plan to do a post while there. Looking forward to getting out of dodge for a bit.

Hope you all have a great rest of the week!
