New contemporary design at ICFF 2010-part 1

For the past few years, I have been able to attend the International Contemporary Furniture Fair every May in New York City. Not only is it a great excuse to visit New York, it is also a chance to view fresh and new furniture and modern designs, that will be featured in magazines and found at retailers within the next 6-8 months. Products and designs are from all over the world – representing Germany, Spain, Britain, Japan, Czech Republic and good old USA.
This year, I decided to share some of my finds on my blog. Some of these are pictures that I took at the event itself, while others are downloaded from vendor’s web sites, because my pictures didn’t turn out well. If you have questions about any particular product, please do let me know! There were so many that I will post half this week and post the other half next week.
ModKat - Although I am not a cat owner, I found this modern litter box to be very cool and thought my cat owner clients might like this…especially those living in condos and apartments in DC. It seems perfect for small spaces and the videos on the website are priceless!
Qlocktwo – easily my favorite design item at the event, from a German company. My picture is below but hard to really get the gist of it – shows off better on the vendors website.
Basically this is a clock, and when the time changes, the letters change to tell you what time it is. The picture above says ‘It is five to five’. The words change every five minutes. You can get the box in different colors and of course, different languages, if interested. EXZELLENT!!
Indi B Rugs California vendor with colorful and striking rugs, featuring natural fibers and dyes and certified child-labor-free! Beautiful, eye-catching rugs at very reasonable prices! Indib has a children’s line of rugs and a contemporary line for adults, see even more at their website!
Time for a break – feel free to rest yourself on these ‘Booty Bubble’ seats (my name, not the official name). Will do new post next week of other finds! Hope you enjoyed it!

Hi Ros!
You should give a shout when in NY! Would love to see you again.
I thought ICFF was very disappointing this year… it’s usually my favorite show, but lots of exhibitors (including ModKat) showed the same things they showed last year….
I thought Hellman-Chang was one of the few bright spots…
