IDS 09 – Week in Passing

Tardy is me – I was too busy this last week getting caught up on life (and I’m still not there yet) – Wynne, I totally get what you mean by being an extreme germaphobe so you don’t get sick. I blame you not!

 

Last weekend I had the joy of having another adventure with Gem – going to IDS 09 was a great eye-opener to all the beautiful furniture out there (that I won’t likely be able to afford until I become a full-fledged pimp. I’m half-fledged now). Equipped with crystal sights, an abundance of hardwood, and more beautiful chairs than I could ever handle, the show was well, quite the show. Though it seemed pretty business oriented, it never hurts to get some visually stimulating ideas in your head. Things that caught my eye? casalife (for that chair that I can never find the price for), aquaovo (the most modern looking water filter systems in the world, no lie), and Princess Perfect (for everything cute in the world of interior design). Oh, and the best part was bumping into Danielle and Anita – it’s been awhile ladies!

    very cool!
    btw, at the casalife booth–did you see how the table expands? it was love at first sight (and it was also something ridiculous like $10,000)
    essentially, the table’s expansion wings rotate from out underneath it and they rise just a slight bit so that its final resting place sits at both ends of the table..perfectly flush, perfectly smooth. it’s a force to be reckoned with =)

    EXCUSE ME!??!!! 10,000 for a table?! I did see it though, I thought it was nifty but not 10,000 nifty. what do these folks take us for lol

    the table actually retails for 6500 but will be on sale and display down at the national home show feb 20 – march 1. It is not the typical casalife price point but when I found it in milan I couldn’t resist…rob

    Hi Rob – welcome to urbanebloc, thanks for taking the time to comment on the post. The casalife display was stunning – I’ve been looking for the chair that was on display at the show on the website but I can’t find it (it was the black leather one with the cinched in buttons? I’m not sure that’s the term for it..)

    Thanks again!

    thanks, it was a lot of work for us all so much appreciated… it’s actualy the same booth but bigger at the national you should come by…the new legal classics line from Italy that we are carrying should get up on the site within a few weeks as we are waiting on the high res pictures

    thanks again
