I have noticed that chairs more than any other piece of furniture have very distinct personalities. Following are photographs of chairs that I find uniquely interesting. The concept of comfort has been discarded in favor of form and style.

NY INTERNATIONAL GIFT FAIR II

Following are photos of more exhibits at the NY INTERNATIONAL GIFT FAIR. The first three photos are from Grace & Blake two California designers who apply an edgy modern aesthetic to rather

traditional products. My favorites are the resin antlers available both mounted and unmounted. The other favorite design is a peach colored velvet pouf on a clear resin base. The remaining photos are from Vagabond Vintage whose products have always been a staple in the shop. Their eclectic range of designs has an antique feel to it and often a connection to the natural world. I especially love the beehives.

NY INTERNATIONAL GIFT FAIR

The New York International Gift Fair (August 18-22) is a strange and wonderful experience. After navigating bizarre and badly designed products there are glimpses of what I consider examples of truly great design. I am always inspired. In the next few weeks I will be posting photographs of various products that caught my interest for one reason or another.
The following photos are of the LA based company ARTECNICA which
collaborates with established and emerging international designers to create inspiring decorative objects for the living environment.
