icff 2007

Tristen Al-Haddad showing of a modular furniture system made from cast concrete at the 2007 International Furniture Fair, New York, NY.

As is to be expected, most of the interesting work was from the smaller outfits.

Overall, I would call the show a bit of a fizzle, only a few noteworthy items.

If this is the state of contemporary furniture, then it is seems that it has retreated back into its safe and already well defined minimalism sensibility. I am a minimalist, but I don't want the whole world like that. Diversity please.
