International Contemporary Furniture Fair 2012


icff 2012 Jielde matte lamps
Jieldé's articulated Standard lamp, introduced in 1950, now comes in matte finishes. Matte finishes are all the rage at present moment; ICFF has more than a few matte brass fixtures, matte porcelain on sinks and tubs, and matte steel furniture details.

All the editors loved the Tools for Everyday Life booth, featuring products by designers-in-residence at Northumbria University in the UK (in fact, they snagged the best-in-show Accessories prize). The One Ton Bag shown here is Danny Duquemin-Sheil's thesis project; each one is made from recycled delivery sacks used to haul construction materials, i.e., extremely durable.
