Form & function ••• fair faves

It felt good to be back in New York with a large group of people (thank you, pandemic) for the annual design shows in New York. It felt good to be surrounded by people who create and inspire how we live and experience the places we spend time in.

Through furniture, lighting, decor, surface design, and everything in between, ICFF, Wanted Design, and BDNY were not just a feast for the eyes but a feast for the soul.

Below are some personal standouts, each drawing me for a different reason: material, process, use of technology, form, ingenuity, cleverness, delight, or all of the above. Photos are personal snapshots for reference (i.e., not the best-composed shots), but perhaps they'll give you a sense of walking the fair floor, too.

... and one more below. I didn't take a photo but enjoyed chatting with the designer and seeing more lighting inspired by our bright star and lantern in the sky.
