Hints of Pink At ICFF
Posted on | May 21, 2008 | Comments Off
Pink is my absolute favorite color. I was surprised to see favorite shade pop up in many forms at the recent ICFF show. I saw some pepto bismol pinks on chairs and lamps but I definitely saw a resurgence of magenta. A color I don’t think we have seen so much of since the 80′s. Love! Check out some of my finds above and below sporting my favorite luscious pigment. If you click on any image you’ll be brought to my jammed packed flickr library with over 65 images from ICFF.

I feel hard for these rugs designed by Brooklyn based artist Amy Helfand. Part of series called, “Heading West” the new rugs represent inspiration from field guides and maps from the travels of Lewis and Clark. The “Heading West” series is available by commission. They are hand-knotted in Nepal from Tibetan wool, hand-carded hand-spun, and pot-dyed. Prices begin at $125/square foot for an all wool rugs. Check out more of Amy’s amazing work: amyhelfand.com.

Since were talking about pink and Spain I thought I would share with you my favorite chairs from the show. Made of plastic wrapped around a plastic core. These happy seats are awesome for indoor or out. I really want a set in pink for my dining room.
I asked about wholesale (since I’m opening a store) and she said something about having an a special rep that will help me ship to the US? Honestly, I have no idea about any of that! I really do want to import from Europe; they have all the good juicy colorful stuff! I guess I’ll just figure it out.
Below are feather pendent lamps also designed by Swala Line. The website is in the process of being updated but I got the feeling in the next couple months the site will be fully functioning. Check it out: swalaline.com.
