By far the most interesting event I attended at ICFF was Designglut’s Uncomfortable Conversations . The idea was inspired by the following quote: A person’s success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.” – Timothy Ferriss Designers Kegan Fisher and Liz Kinnmark of Designglut curated 16 pieces that were designed to start “uncomfortable but important conversations.” Here are some of the pieces that were in the exhibit: Pre-Handshake Handshake Device by Dominic Wilcox Night Terror by Chrissy Conant It’s Not You, It’s Me / It’s Not Me, It’s You by Ana Linares Chi-Merica by Paul Loebach In Case by Materious Uncomfortable Typographic Situations by MSLK Kevin Carpet Bench by Will Robison of Subports (yup, really a dude rolled up in a carpet.) Heavy by Karl Zahn You can see them all and read the descriptions on the Uncomfortable Conversations website.
