ICFF 2008: Inhabitat Reports
by Jill FehrenbacherToday is the last day of the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in NYC, and we are madly going through all of our photos of the furniture, products, and of course the parties from the past few days. If you missed the NY furniture fair this year, don’t fear - you can catch up on all the best new green design right here at Inhabitat. We went nuts scouring every last ICFF booth so that you don’t have to. We wanted to spare you having to pace up and down under the florescent lights of the Javitz center, rubbing your bleary eyes, wondering to yourself ‘where’s the green design amongst all this shiny shiny plastic?’ If you haven’t yet checked out our Photo Gallery, BKLYN Design Coverage, or weekend ICFF coverage, check them out here >
