Talk about a two-for-one. This combination table and lamp is brilliant – it’s super sleek and simple but with the utmost functionality.

Jeff Skierka created this coffee table that pays homage to a technology of the past: the cassette tape. I’m particularly fond of it because it reminds me of my youth… quickly hitting “record” on my boom box to try to capture “Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer as it played on the radio, popping those tapes into my portable tape players for a walk around the mall, and then into the stereo of my first car.

Nendo paired with the Czech glassmakers, Lasvit , to create a collection of hand-blown glass lighting and objects. This is Nendo’s first foray into the glass world and the pieces are quite beautiful. Each piece is unique with slight variations, as that’s the unpredictability of them being hand-blown. The forms are striking, yet elegant all while remaining simple in their overall shape

Materials: Vika Amon top, Utby base, Ekby Jarpen shelf, Capita legs Description: I too have joined the standing desk movement and my back has never felt better. My first attempt was to construct my own desk, inspired by several I had seen online. I made a frame out of pipe segments. It was thin, but strong, and looked really cool… except for the top.

Another year, another ICFF . To be entirely honest, I thought last year’s show was a bit of a downer but in contrast, this year’s show seemed more upbeat, positive and there were quite a few things we absolutely loved.

We really loved the Kohler booth; it was probably our favorite booth (and not just because they had a phone charging station !) I think they did a great job of embracing and promoting their collaboration with Jonathan Adler . The booth, which was actually a shipping container painted chartreuse, was over the top: the staff were colorfully dressed and when Jonathan himself stopped by, they served fancy blue drinks and blue and yellow cotton candy.

Boy, those girls from Sight Unseen sure know how to put together a fun series of events. We had a great time walking around Noho this year. I made it a point to go this year because unfortunately last year I missed it.

Traverso Table , designed by Francesco Faccin for Valsecchi1918 , is divided into two separate parts which can be manufactured in either glass or wood. Upon dismantling, the Traverso Table takes up virtually no space. The designer describes the center beam as the key element to the table’s structural and aesthetic integrity. The exaggeration of the beam exemplifies Faccin’s design ideology in which the principal structural and mechanical elements are as much the necessities as they are the niceties
