Mad for multi-functional modern Good ideas of yesteryear modernized Nigel F. Maynard The Washington Post NEW YORK — National and global brands catering to lovers of modern design and contemporary furniture exhibited their hottest wares at the recent 27th annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair. Held annually in New York, ICFF (as it’s known to the design cognoscenti) is the most important design show in the U.S., and the place where style trends are revealed. Modern comes in many forms, but here are seven developments to keep in mind:

Tagina
Tagina drew inspiration from traditional and contemporary design for its Details tile collection. The floor and wall tile comes in a variety of glossy and matte surface treatments and formats, including large hexagons (pricing available on request, tagina.com). the show included Ecotono’s Feeler pendant light with an integrated Bluetooth speaker, Mio Feltforms decorative panels that double as acoustic tiles, and Oso Industries’ concrete Rollerboy rolling table/stool/ottoman.
Wood: War m and attractive, wood is the preferred material for furniture makers; modern designers are simply playing with new forms.
Examples of this strategy include Todd St. John’s Relief credenza, Benjamin Klebba’s Swift chair and Thos. Moser’s Cumberland chair, among many others.
