ICFF is huge - the second biggest furniture fair in the world, after MilanJune 20th, 2011 6:18pm - Posted By: Ane Lillian Tveit
Lloyd Alter writes: ICFF is huge - the second biggest furniture fair in the world, after Milan. It's where designers and manufacturers come to introduce the latest thing, the hottest new design. I usually go there to look for green design for TreeHugger, but this year kept an eye on the kids stuff for Parentables. One of the most interesting finds wias the Scandinavian so-ro cradle. It's not designed by the usual designer suspects, but by an occupational therapist who looked at the way babies are rocked naturally.

Lenny Kravitz came to the ICFF today. He was concerned there is very little contemporary furniture for children. I gave him a dvd of the video I made with Bugge Wesseltoft playing the Norwegian folksong lullaby "so-ro, godt barn" (calm down, sweet child). He seemed happy to see that I have designed a soothing cradle wich matches contemporary homes =D http://twitter.com/#!/LennyKravitz Posted in: eventsView / Add Comment | 0 Comment(s) | Rating: 0 of 5 | Share: Twitter, Facebook, Google +female enterpeneur of the year 2011May 11th, 2011 7:02pm - Posted By: Ane Lillian Tveit
