In 2011, we were able to cover a few more trade shows and art/design events than usual thanks to some of our super friends! I hope we can continue this great coverage into 2012 and beyond. Susan Serra, CKD, CAPS, of thekitchendesigner.org and scandinaviankitchens.com , as well as creator of Bornholm Kitchen curated a lovely kitchen design trends roundup for us from the 2011 LivingKitchen Show in Cologne, Germany. Also in January, Eleanor walked the aisles of the New York International Gift Fair . In March, notabilia covered the 2011 Singapore Biennale . In May, I spent some time in New York City for the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) .

By exploring the potential for relationships between contemporary furniture and technology, David Franklin created this contemporary piece that interacts with you as you work or eat. The camera is programmed and controlled wirelessly to take pictures at predetermined times or at specified intervals over a duration. The resulting pictures are sent back to a computer and can be programmed to upload automatically to the user’s desired social networking site.

Suzanne Sharp is one half of The Rug Company . She and her husband, Chris, started The Rug Company with the idea that they would see rugs from a contemporary viewpoint without sacrificing quality and the traditional rug making skills. Inspired by the classical and armed with pure 21st century spirit, a good visual imagination and an inherent ability to know what works they soldiered on. It was a daunting task but it was a challenge that has been worth the effort.

I absolutely love the Cherries Lamp series by Nika Zupanc . In her work, Nika reinterprets everyday objects as she thematizes the role of women in the predominantly masculine world of design.
