picking…
mostly lighting as favorites this year @ ICFF
but there were also some surprisingly lovely new additions and of course old faves.
Wallplates from Upwell
Pendants from Token
Everything @ Søren Rose Studio (for De La Spada) looks super – especially this
Egg Collective was so fresh and lovely (thank you Brooklyn). Their cards were also done perfectly
the Bensen Morgan couch caught my eye
Lindsay Adelman‘s pop-up workshop was fun — and the new porcelain shade is incredibly beautiful. Reminds me a little of Ken Gangbar’s work
and finally Studio Dunn had a very smart looking little collection this year — with SUCH a well done letterpressed takeaway I want to keep it forever. The Narragansett Bowls were my favorite.
1. Stickbulb [the best thing at the show this year in my opinion]
2. Apparatus – [Vanity Sconce]
3. Roll and Hill - [Rudi]

shops in the states.
Enjoying the handiwork of Jeremy Barbour [for Tacklebox] the gentleman who gave us the architecture for my ultimate fantasy business, the lovely Saipua,
and slathering myself with the best and least affordable hand lotion on the planet.
Fun to finally have a couple of Aesops in NYC!

[other than the 3 month old]
is a Walentas project
designed by
these beautiful renderings are the handiwork of

checking…
out some of the inspiration for the new AvroKO child on the increasingly fancy pants Bowery
(sayonara Double Crown)
finally…
getting my arse up to see
and yes, it was completely magic.
The Pepper’s Ghost Technique (a hologram of Kate Moss) was an exhibit gem. A device that gives the illusion of a spirit, sometimes used in séances in the nineteenth century (so cool!)
watch
[the strings from Schindler's List were so eerie and perfect too]
And just for fun, my favorite show ever…the Byzantine inspired
