Yup, this is one interesting exhibit. This series is the work of design students from Venice and San Marino. The key ingredients are bread, rice, and licorice. Not materials you expect to find in a chair.

While this chair is one I probably wouldn’t want to sit in, it is pretty intriguing nonetheless. This series was designed to research what the limits of matter are, and the energy, chemical processes, and results would be it would lead to. What do you think?

Oshibe mean “stamen” in Japanese, and was what inspired Tomomi Sayuda to create this nest/music box/lamp/creative plaything. Also inspired by eggs, plants, light, and the moon, Sayuda created an interactive sculpture for both children and adults.

I took a photo of the Private Cloud by Manuel Kloker on the floor of ICFF, and as I stood there, I watched the crowd. It was funny to see the attendees get in and out of it, rock it, and talk about it. There was much more crowd discussion about “doing the nasty” and how that would work rather than the actual design of the product. The wow factor of this product is certainly there. But, in reality, you can place blocks to stabilize the bed just like a regular bed.

With everyone looking forward to the long holiday weekend coming up, I figured now is the time to feature this cool grill I’ve been wanting. Not only does it have a great look and come in an amazing selection of vibrant colors, its compact size makes it perfect for apartments, condos, and small spaces.

Called the FYRKAT, this charcoal grill is easily portable as well, so it’s perfect for tailgating too! Best of all, you can grab one in time for the summer holidays at a very reasonable 49.95. More here.

This bed does more than look cool, it actually keeps you cool too. The Evening Breeze Canopi Bed enables you to create your own personal cool sleeping climate. It features a canopy that is placed over the bed, which features an integrated ventilation system that cools the area in which you are sleeping without any noise.

Why not just turn on the AC? The Evening Breeze Canopi Bed offers a lot of things air conditioning can’t, like focusing the cool air directly on you. You can even leave the bedroom windows open for fresh air, without affecting your cool sleep sanctuary. This also makes it more efficient, making the Evening Breeze Canopi Bed a eco-conscious choice while helping you to save on your energy bill. See more here.

I loved the BRC Designs booth at ICFF. I spent quite some time in there just touching and playing with everything. BRC is Benjamin Rollins Caldwell, who loves designing using odd and unusual materials, making very functional items out of them. Every piece asks you to interact with it, but they don’t feel over-designed or unusable.
