CTC&G's Editors Share Their Favorite Design Picks from ICFF

There's something really special about the clean yet modern hanging bulb fixtures from Buster + Punch. I love the rough and beautiful lines that allow you to really see inside the bulbs. –DJ Carey, Editorial Director of C&G Media Group

The texture of the David Rockwell for Gessi pieces were incredible. I loved seeing an Architect’s point of view in bathroom fixtures. –DJ Carey, Editorial Director of C&G Media Group

The modern dog house is amazing designed by Daniel Germani with Dekton and Cosentino. I love how it's so simple functional and durable enough for the outdoors. –DJ Carey, Editorial Director of C&G Media Group.

The faucets from Franz Viegener remind me of birds in flight with their combination of avant-garde elements that are also minimalistic yet modern. –DJ Carey, Editorial Director of C&G Media Group

Artistic Tile’s Fiammato mosaic tile design uses art glass sourced from Murano. The exquisite millefiore—a thousand flowers—detail has to be seen close up to be fully appreciated. – Catriona Branca, Executive Editor of CTC&G

The sculptural lines of the new Pedersen lounge chair for Bernhardt Design actually stopped me on my way to another appointment! The piece was inspired by an open seashell from Denmark’s coastline. Plus, it’s amazingly comfortable. –Catriona Branca, Executive Editor of CTC&G

Mary Fitzgerald, Senior Associate Editor of CTC&G and Catriona Branca, Executive Editor of CTC&G both enjoyed the Maru lighting from David Trubridge. Mary noted, “I loved the lighting fixtures by New Zealand–based David Trubridge. With a focus on environmentally responsible design, his creations are rooted in nature with organic shapes and raw materials. His latest collection was launched at ICFF with feature lights, table lamps and wall sconces. The Maru and Navicula fixtures were my favorite.”

Catrionia stated, “Cast shadows, bright colors—Maru is magical. The newest elliptical lighting design by David Trubridge is crafted from 60 identical pieces. The name is found in New Zealand Maori and in Japanese languages and aptly references the circle of life.”

Hush acoustic lighting (designed in collaboration with David Trubridge) was another innovative brand. The lighting is designed to reduce sound for just the right acoustics. Made from recycled water bottles, the felt-like material is available in oval, round or mini sizes in 12 colors. It is predominately used commercially, but I think it would be great in today’s open concept homes. –Mary Fitzgerald, Senior Associate Editor of CTC&G

Heated furniture by Galanter & Jones caught my eye. It’s such a great idea for cool summer nights and utilizing your outdoor space year-round! Designed and made in California, the studio was founded in 2012 by the brother/sister team of Aaron and Miranda Jones. “Smooth and warm like a rock set out in the sun,” is how the duo describes the molded chairs and benches. –Mary Fitzgerald, Senior Associate Editor of CTC&G

Designer Kevin Hoelscher and furniture maker Thomas Harder joined forces at ICFF as Hoha Modern , showcasing their new sculpture/seat hybrid. Dubbed the Ohm Seat, the beautifully crafted piece, available in walnut or painted in lapis, ice blue, slate, yellow or red, would be the perfect accent to any modern home. –Serena Norr, Digital Content Director of C&G Media Group

Wallpaper Projects, a boutique design studio specializing in custom-fit, high-end, featured a fun collection of self-adhesive and pasted wallpaper. For ICFF with Collective Concept, Wallpaper Projects worked with Farrah Sit and created wallpaper with fiery washes of golden hues that rise from the fully covered floors to surround suspended stone and neon lights. Silver Studies is a wallpaper collection from experimental chemical paintings on photographic paper. This unique creative process expands into environmental murals that are custom scaled for individual projects. –Serena Norr, Digital Content Director of C&G Media Group

I love how the Woven Bow Back Chair from Summer Studio is a fun twist on your typical chair. Made using a milling process and woven webbing using Danish Cotton Flag Halyard, which will not stretch over time. –Serena Norr, Digital Content Director of C&G Media Group

A beautiful ode to craftsmanship and design, I loved viewing the collection of wooden toys from Wooden Story. One of my favorites was the solid wooden desk with its functional liftable desktop and sturdy exterior that's built for hours of learning and play. –Serena Norr, Digital Content Director of C&G Media Group
