A number of Dutch designers took part in last week's International
Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF). On Sunday, designer Henk Stallinga
won the ICFF Editors Award for best international accessory designer.
Others taking part included Artifort, Danskina, Frame magazine,
Spectrum furniture and Frans van Nieuwenborg. Repeat, an exhibition
by Hella Jongerius and Claudy Jongstra, is on show at Moss, one
of New York's most important design shops/galleries. On show are
new fabrics commissioned by Maharam, including a wedding dress made
of felt. Totem Soho Gallery is hosting the exhibition Double Dutch
2:D/3:D. A range books and furniture by Opera Designers, Irma Boom,
Artifort and Pastoe are on display. Many other Dutch design exhibitions
in New York are listed on the site.
To coincide with these events, Italian monthly on architecture Abitare
issued a monograph on Dutch architecture. It is the biggest special
issue to date and features more than 700 projects in the fields
of architecture, landscape, design and art.
