Right: Cherner Armchair from DesignWithinReach
I got to see an old high school friend this weekend and we were taking a nice stroll to Starbucks. On our way there we passed this cute little antique store (chairs on left). They are quite interesting and the fabric is so vibrant! It so happened in one of my recent magazine subscriptions that there was an advertisement for the DWR Cherner Chair (chair right). Now, this got me to do a little simple research and found: aha! Custom Cherner Chairs. Now, who will be the one fooled to buy very contemporary furniture from an antique store? I wonder if the store owner knows the whole story…
Wasara: a line of disposable paper tableware made from reed pulp and bagasse (sugarcane waste), inspired by Japanese aesthetics.
So refined! So simple! So elegant! Plain beautiful.

Another one of those products we all wish we thought of first!
A great little container that has an outer flexible shell for ice-cube making and an inner container to store those ice-cubes or anything else you may want to keep cold (ice cream, dip, wine..)
Remove the inner container and partially fill the outer shell with water. Place inner container back into the outer shell to displace the water and fill the Orb. Freeze and voila! Ice-cubes are ready to be popped out of the shell and into the container or take the whole thing with you as a mini-chiller.
Demo and Purchase IceOrb here from FusionBrands.

It’s been a few weeks since NY design week and my attendance of the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF). Apologies as I’ve been pre-occupied with daily life.
This was my first visit to the ICFF and it was certainly worth it.
Some thoughts: 1) Wish I had many more hours and more than 1 day to absorb it all and take the time to explore and appreciate all that was there. 2) I should have taken more photos! But here are a few of my favorites that make me go “huh! how cleaver”

3) Most important, irrelevant takeaway: I should have worn more comfortable shoes! Then, I would not have been tired and cranky and be able to view the products and not constantly thinking about my sore feet. Lesson learned.
