While we were at ICFF, we stopped by the Nani Marquina booth to have a chat with Nani herself. The company, which is celebrating 25 years, has created a special collection this year for the occasion. I sat and talked to Nani about this new collection, which is a bit of a departure from her past rugs. Figura Humana, 1948 The entire set consists of artworks by Eduardo Chillida , a Spanish artist and sculptor. Nani chronicled the life and art of Chillida from 1948 through 1995 in seven works .

Legendary Italian design company Alessi partnered with the equally notorious Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2009 for a collaborative workshop through 3D design and metals called Cranbrook for Alessi . The group of Cranbrook designers included: Adam Shirley, Seth Papac, Katie MacDonald, David Schafer, Jonathan Muecke, Patrick Gavin, John Truex, Richard Nelipovich and Suzanne Beautyman, all lead by Cranbrook 3D Designer-in-Residence, Scott Klinker, and Metalsmithing Artist-in-Residence, Iris Eichenberg. The goal was to “search for new forms in metal through a hands-on, craft process in the metal shop.” The results were presented at an exhibition entitled METAL WORKSHOP: Cranbrook for Alessi coinciding with the re-launch of the flagship Alessi store in Soho, along with ICFF and New York Design Week . Four of the designs created during the workshop are currently in production for Alessi and are aiming for a 2012 launch date.

While in New York, we visited the Mondo Collection showroom, a company that is dedicated to bringing modern global design to the US, as well as collecting exceptional designs from up-and-coming designers. We got an exclusive tour of the space and had a great time speaking with Jaime Hayon and up-and-comer Jack Craig .

Last weekend was the first ever “Design Milk Presents” event, Reinvention; Writing History Through Aluminum , featuring new works by Brad Ascalon and Frederick McSwain (AM) for Neal Feay Studio , an exhibition at Bobby Berk Home (it runs through May 27 th so you can still catch it!) The objects, made of solid aluminum (quite weighty!) came from an accidental meeting between Brad Ascalon and Santa Barbara-based Neal Feay Studio. Alex Rasmussen, third generation owner of Neal Feay, has been exploring new ways to push aluminum manufacturing to a whole new level. He’s recently partnered with artists and now, he’s pioneering Neal Feay’s first venture into modern product design. Turntable slatted tables with optical illusion Closeup of the underside of Turntable One of my favorite pieces is Achilles, a shoehorn. The AM team decided to design a shoehorn for the single reason they wanted to design a sexy shoehorn – named Achilles because their “Achilles heel” is that sometimes they like to design for the sake of making something beautiful.

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

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.
