Stopped into the presentation that Hudson Furniture was having during Design Week, incredible as always. Hudson Furniture Inc. respects the natural forms of trees and inherent grain of wood with well defined organic lines and geometric forms using traditional joinery techniques and hand rubbed oil finishes.

ICFF was really tight and focused this year. Given that the market is still not back to normal, only the “best of the best” exhibited.
The 22nd Annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) at New York’s City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is a worldwide wonder for design disciples. North America’s singular showcase for contemporary design, the fair draws the most intrepid seekers of design trends to an extraordinary exhibition of the most inspired models of design on the forefront, as well as thought-provoking programs and a schedule of supplementary exhibits and features.

This post was inspired after watching Tom Ford’s A Single Man, set in 1962. In the film, George, an English professor at a small college—played by Colin Firth recieves a pencil sharpener from his student Kenny— played by Nicholas Hoult. George picks yellow, Kenny red, which George says represents rage and passion. Gotta love products from the 60′s, that’s perfection and passion for you.

Design Miami /’09
The exhibition “The Art of Progress” in the Audi Pavilion highlights the values of the new Audi A8 artistically. To this end AUDI AG is collaborating with the top British designer Tom Dixon, who created the installation “Light Light” exclusively for the world premiere. It comprises 120 aluminum polyhedral lights suspended amongst a cluster of helium-filled balloons made of metalized foil. The installation is intended to make the qualities of the new A8 visible and tangible.
In addition to Tom Dixon’s design art, images and sculptures were showcased in the Audi Pavilion that are otherwise part of the “Beg Borrow and Steal” exhibition belonging to the Rubell Family Collection, one of the world’s best-known collections of contemporary art. Read more
