The Other Pods...
(08 June 2005) - Almost as easy to take along as the small digital 'pods, these stylish Pod Caravans are incredibly functional for their size. Four people can sit comfortably for a meal around the table which disappears when the seating converts into a queen size bed. Plenty of storage is cleverly created under the kitchenette.

OOH OOH
(16 May 2005) - No doubt the most playful and light hearted exhibitors at ICFF were the San Francisco based, nights-and-weeekends collective LIFT.

Sonno Mattress
(04 May 2005) - Before I even get in to the details, just understand the beauty of this mattress is in the packaging and shipping. Over the weekend I helped a friend assemble a new bed from DWR.

Living in a Box
(07 April 2005) - Last year, German design firm Transalpin conceived a way to pass electricity through wood and named it Wood.e.

This year, they created Living In a Box (above) as an example of how this innovative material could be applied. Normally separate pieces, chairs, tables, lamps and shelves, are...
