Image via Neo-UtilityDesign agency smallpond looked to go big time for the inaugural NYCxDesign festival, entering the fray with the support of London's Designjunction. The new INTRO NY show was modest in the best way possible, a showcase of smaller, mostly non-NYC design brands in a well-lit, street-level space in the heart of Little Italy (there was audible din from a parade two blocks over when I visited on Saturday morning).
Founded in 2000, Modus was the oldest company at INTRO NYIf on-site retail—a curated neo-utility pop-up shop—and refreshments seem to be par for the course at design shows these days, the backyard pop-up cafe was a nice touch (though I imagine it was rained out on Sunday).
In addition to furnishing the patio, San Francisco's Council made a strong showing with products new and old. They've brought a handful of young designers into the fold since the brand debuted at ICFF in 2007, including Chad Wright, who was happy to discuss the "Twig" chair that he designed for the brand.
The "Periodic" table by One & Co. was displayed front and centerThe new "Index" series by Jonah Takagi for Council; Wright's "Twig" chair at right

As part of an ongoing commitment to bringing the best in contemporary design to the public, Luminaire, a pioneering force in the design world, is presenting internationally-renowned designer Henry Timi. Milan-based Timi’s minimalist vision, let’s re-label ‘essentialist’ vision because each piece appears to have reached a reduction that can go no further without breaking. His vision is more than the design of the object, but a way of living, connecting emotionally with a pure, harmonious...From Architectenweb

A rinsing bowl that has a strainer is different from just a strainer, right? Right. This bowl has a strainer ‘side’ that folds out to catch your pasta/fruit/veggies, so you can rinse and then strain out the water all in one bowl. Sort of smart, isn’t it? Also available in red and green/avocado.

Held this week in Chicago, the Pebble Project is a workshop where healthcare organizations, architects, designers and industry partners work together to identify environment designs and solutions that measurably improve patient and worker safety, clinical outcomes, environmental performance and operating efficiency. The two-day workshop will begin May 8 with a tour of Pebble Project members Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, a state of the art children’s hospital that opened in June, 2012.
The national workshop will also include presentations by the University of Maryland Medical Center’s study on whether unit design and a standardized medication room can decrease medication errors in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit and Northeast Georgia Health System on achieving a sustainable building.

If you missed our big Factory Sale on Saturday, here’s a recap of how it went, in photos:
It all started with a line… a very long one.
Then, the floodgates opened!
Customers loved the “Make Your Own Chair” station.
And the Fiberglass Shell Chair Factory!
Our Favorite Part: Happy Customers!
We also loved seeing so many furry friends!
There were also quite a few tiny shoppers, although not all of them seemed to enjoy themselves as much as their parents…
There you have it! A Factory Sale to remember! For those of you who made it out, let us know what you thought of the event in the comment section below. Did you enjoy it? Did you find everything you wanted? What can we improve on next time? Let us know!

Your old plastic bottles no longer are useless when they’re being made into the felt that forms the Torbuschka family of bags by Kaaita. Each Torbuschka comes with two slightly smaller bags fitted into the largest one giving you a trio of totes handmade exclusively in Slovenia.
The durable bags aren’t just for carrying around, you can use them as storage around your crib for things like toys, firewood, newspapers, linens, etc. It’s available in three versions – Torbuschka L (wearable edition), Torbuschka L (furniture edition), and Torbuschka XL (king size furniture edition).
