WE WENT TO VISIT THE ICFF, HERE IS WHAT CAUGHT OUR EYES :
Each year, the North American platform for International design, ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) takes over the Jacob K. Javits Centre in New York from May 20th to the 23rd, to present an array of exclusive custom international furniture, unique materials, and high-end designs!
We want to share with you some of the beautiful designs that caught our eye!
Arturo Alvarez Artwork :
ARTWORK is a brand new expression zone designed for creative artist Arturo Álvarez who, twenty years into his career, has entered a much deeper exploration phase of human beings, their relationships with others and their surroundings, and where light acts as a backdrop. It is a much more private and personal design that brings us into deeper thought, way beyond aesthetics, and into life’s most transcendental elements.

“Kumiko” in short, is a delicate technique of assembling wooden pieces without nails.
Thinly slit wooden pieces are grooved, punched and mortised, and then are assembled and joined one-by-one with plane, saw, chisel and other tools while fine adjustments are made. The “Kumiko” woodwork technique was developed in Japan in the Asuka Era (600-700 AD) and has since been refined and passed down through generations of craftsmen.
