Styleture

The International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) is back in full swing— and we couldn’t be more excited! As North America’s premier showcase for contemporary design, ICFF brings together the latest design trends and innovations in one jam-packed trade show and exhibition. With the show opening to the public on Tuesday, here’s what we can’t wait to see at ICFF.

Watermark Designs and Flavor Paper

We love Watermark Designs for their hip Brooklyn aesthetic and innovative faucet designs— and for their first ICFF, they’re putting both proudly on display. Their new Zen Collection is comprised of quartz faucet handles and rocks hand-picked from the shores of Lake Michigan. Utilizing rare earth magnets, this new collection eliminates the need for set screws, which gives the handles an even more natural look and feel.

While this new collection is thrilling enough, we’re just as excited to tour their booth, which will be “flavored” with wallpaper from the equally innovative Brooklyn-based company Flavor Paper. Flavor Paper’s hand-screened wallpaper is produced in their “Flavor Lab” in the Cobble Hill section of Brooklyn. The booth makes use of two Brooklyn-themed designs: the Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO wall. We can’t wait to check out this hip collaboration in person!

At Styleture we never pass up the opportunity to celebrate good style. With ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) just around the corner, we can’t wait to see what new products are in store. While we anticipate the latest and greatest in design, we want to take some time to celebrate a few of our old favorites. And what better time to celebrate than May 5th? In honor of our own “Sinko” de Mayo, here are five of our favorite sinks.

ILBAGNOALESSI One Tuna by LAUFEN

LAUFEN is masterful when it comes to innovation and organic forms, taking bathroom design to another whole level. With the graceful curves of the fish that bears its name, TUNA is an imaginative piece with timeless flair. Its soft fluid lines and clean white finish create a modern and luxurious statement for any bathroom.

Mojito by Native Trails

Just in time for summer, Native Trails’ new Mojito bar and prep sink is making a splash. With a look as refreshing as its namesake, Mojito’s hammered copper texture brings beauty to any backyard barbeque. This innovative sink combines artistry and functionality with a deep circular shape perfect for filling with ice and keeping bottles cold.

As Earth Month comes to an end, it’s natural to reflect on all things… well, natural. Whether animal, vegetable, or mineral, the greatest design inspiration comes from Mother Nature herself. That’s why we at Styleture strive to bring nature’s beauty indoors whenever we can. We’ve found some of our favorite companies that are not only making natural products but are contributing to a sustainable future as well.

Taking its lead from nature’s blueprint, Stone Forest sculpts designs from natural materials like stone, copper, bronze, bamboo, iron and hardwood. Their hardwood and bamboo lines are fully sustainable, and their copper and bronze products are crafted from 100% recycled materials. Some of our favorite stand outs include their luxurious Bronze Lunette, their stylish SYNC Drop-in Bamboo Vessel Sink and their Wood L-Slab Pedestal.

“An architectural project, which speaks a new language. Innovative, rich in emotion, transparency and colour. The Kartell by Laufen bathroom is the synthesis of the work we have done in recent years in the world of the bathroom and represents an important step forward in this sector.”

-Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, designer

When it comes to luxury bathroom design, few names come to mind as easily as LAUFEN. The Swiss company known for precision and innovation in ceramics has defined “bathroom culture” with its 120 years of expertise. That’s why when we we heard LAUFEN was joining forces with Kartell, we were thrilled to get one of the first looks at their new collection. Kartell is an iconic Italian brand known for revolutionizing furnishing in the use of plastics. Together they’ve synthesized their specialties into the remarkable new line “Kartell by Laufen.”

Indulging one’s paramour on Valentine’s Day can take many forms; plying him or her with chocolate, wrapping a loved one in cashmere, blinding them with bling of some sort, providing a day away from the children a la a spa day. A spa day does sound nice – and if your readers want to know how to pamper their loved ones year-round (earning many more brownie points), perhaps they should focus on bath items that make it easy to say, “ahhh love you.”

Heart Throb – Corbett Lighting
With its twisted and delicate heart-shaped frame, there is no question where Corbett Lighting draws inspiration for its lovely Heart Throb. Dressed for the occasion, the two-light sconce is crafted in solid brass and features a polished nickel finish that could take a space from zero to 60 beats per minute. Perfect for a board room or dare we say, the bedroom, Heart Throb is topped with hardback linen shades and exudes romance at every glance.
