design highlights
Featured below are new and
exciting design elements we
asked our ASID members to
share with our readers.
Lucy Aiken-Johnson, ASID found
these tile installations by J. Prichard
intriguing at ICFF in NYC. The artist
creates compositions with porcelain
pieces and then installs them on site.

At KBIS, Jackie Naylor, ASID was impressed with
Jenn Air’s new bronze-finish refrigerators as well
as their glass fronted French door models (pictured
left). You can design and build your own
refrigerator on their website at
www.jenn-air.com.
The Milan Furniture Fair
this year seemed to carry
the idea of renewal with
botanical natural image
recurring throughout the
Fair. Mia Kurgan, ASID,
found that Spain with their
blossoming design scene
certainly led the pack with Amat
3’s “Miralook” chair (right). While it may look
like your ordinary garden chair, it can be placed
in a variety of settings given the richness and
diversity of the polypropylene palette.

Another example of nature in design is an area
rug simply named “Garden Carpet”; a rubber
rug with images of birds and flowers. These
images are seen as symbols of fertility and
beauty that provide a wonderful balance to
the expected, harsh and sometimes shocking
products that we find.

Clinton Smith suggests taking a look at the Zane Chaise and
Zane Ottoman found at High Point from Thomas O’Brien’s
new TOB Collection for Hickory Chair. O’Brien combines
Eames and early 1950’s modern Italian design styles
with the idea of an airy, open scaffold and translates
it into a blend
of classic
furniture
detailing
with a modern
silhouette.
