Tom Dixon and MusaDesign

We attended ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) in New York in May, and we were blown away by all the designers, their concepts and ideas. What an amazing opportunity, to see the life of design unfolding before us in the city of life. Through it all though I found myself always returning to one man's work. His name is Tom Dixon and his lamp designs were so influential that when we were faced with the opportunity to meet him back in Seattle we jumped all over it. He met us at San Francisco based Limn's (http://www.limn.com/) newest showroom in Seattle, located on Western Ave. by the waterfront.
I was impressed with Tom before,but after the meeting my impression rose to a whole new level. Our meeting at Limn progressed to a nearby bar where we spent hours discussing design, his influences (he described to us how a chicken becomes a chair [see his drawing below]), and most importantly life.


If you want more information on Tom Dixon's work, I would recommend stopping by his website at http://www.tomdixon.net/
I would also suggest stopping by the Limn showroom located at 639 Western Ave. in Seattle, they have some really amazing peices. Ask for Eric Fassett, he's a really great guy and will help you with all your needs.

ICFF 2007 New York

Frank Gehry's latest architectural and engineering marvel - IAC Headquarters - it looks weightless and understated!
No, it is not a James Bond movie poster - it is a new brand of wallpaper designed by SOONSALON company from the Netherlands -very imaginative sometimes surreal photographs are expressed in the wallpaper format! http://www.soonsalon.com/
More from Soonsalon...

ONON surface - innovative hangings made from polyester with variety of nature inspired cut patterns by FAF studio -www.oneonsurface.com

Tom Dixon's Famous Mirror Balls!
New metal panels form Interlam, http://www.interlam-design.com/
http://www.qubus.cz/ - Avant guarde design from Prague designers, Lenin never looked so pretty!
Among the variety of design companies presented I was most impressed by the collective of the African contemporary designers under the unity of "Amaridian" company located in NY http://www.amaridianusa.com/

A nice brake -cool beer and design was offered at the ICFF Bar designed by students Alfred Zollinger's classes in the Architecture, Interior Design, and Lighting Design department at Parsons. Four-inch-wide industrial straps - all the same length -wrapped repeatedly throughout the 96-foot-long space. Stapled along the ceiling and floor, the black ribbons form a loose enclosure on two sides of the booth. Inside, they are also fastened to the furniture. The overall feel is something of a hangover without the headache!

Party night - every night, 3 days in the row - we really needed a brake from the information overload - fortunatelly we were not along!
