EXPLORING THE LATEST IN CONTEMPORARY DESIGN

 

 

The ICFF, or International Contemporary Furniture Fair, is an annual trade show that features hundreds of the interior design world’s newest and brightest collections — a forecast into the near future of design aesthetics. The founders of Elysian Collective found themselves in the sprawl of the exhibitions in search of the rare and beautiful and were pleased to have found it. 


During this year's ICFF event showcase, the expansive Javits Center became a microcosm of high art and design teeming with interior enthusiasts as they scanned the gallery displays. The ELYSIAN COLLECTIVE team was thrilled to be amongst those attending, and eager to be on the hunt for exquisite new pieces to add to our ever-changing collection of works. Between the earthy textiles, crafted wood, vibrant glassware, and avant-garde art, the show connects people through a mutual appreciation for exceptional creation, provenance, and beauty. Designers hailing from all over the world offer their global perspectives through their distinctive work, and there is a visceral sense of who they are spoken through design. 


We were positively overwhelmed with inspiration at the myriad of collections at ICFF, with a select few emerging designers sparking our intrigue with their innovative ideas and exquisite craftsmanship.



"We've returned home after the show energized and looking forward to collaborations with these up-and-coming designers to bring their artistry to our Collective"


Stay tuned for future collections and product drops featuring intriguing works from our top picks highlighted below.  We would love to hear your thoughts, feel free to share your favorites with us in the comment section below!

"Snug" by Erika Cross.

 

Erika Cross’s perspective on her work is driven by a desire to innovate and exalt everyday objects with a utilitarian focus. She works with a variety of mediums from Carrara and Marquina marble to Yupo paper. Pictured above is "Snug," which is described by the studio as “a dialectical discourse between two different materials, juxtapose into a single vessel.” Serving the need for usage and sensibility, it is a striking and functional tabletop piece that embodies the vision of Erika Cross in its intentional simplicity. 

 



AYUMIYA


"Iyo Rug" by Studio Ayumia.

 

Sisters Ayumi and Miya are the creatives that comprise Studio Ayumiya, and their path to design is inspiring and illuminating. Ayumi is a furniture and object designer by trade, while Miya is a Michelin star cook turned art studio director. Though their backgrounds are varied, they come together in perfect synchronicity to produce both textile and glass design that draws inspiration from their family heritage. Their rug designs were taken from their grandmother’s heirlooms, including her signature glasses and a signature broach. 

 



PISCINA

"The Reader Side Tables" by Piscina.

 

Brooklyn-based studio and showroom Piscina incorporates inventive sculpture to everyday environments. The studio was founded by Cuban American artist Natalie Shook, whose creativity is exemplified through Piscina’s dynamic catalog of furniture, objects, and jewelry.  Piscina’s playful and modular designs stood out to us, as they appear to reimagine function and naturalize a home with its signature earth tones and architectural shapes. 

 



IRINA FLORE

"Joyful Glassware" by Irina Flore.

 

Irina Flore is an award-winning designer who puts the process of creation in the highest regard. Irina Flore’s design practice utilizes both traditional techniques and new technology in the crafting of everyday art objects. The works are statement pieces for the home that appear and function extraordinarily. We stumbled upon the artist’s drinkware set at the ICFF, as it sat colorfully and joyfully on its display.  

 



FORMA ROSA STUDIO


The "Wave Form Lamp" Collection by Forma Rosa Studio.

 

Forma Rosa Studio encapsulates what it means to envision nature in unique forms. The designers, both hailing from the U.S. and Peru, pull from their respective natural environments to digitally design and tactfully execute an individual design piece. What caught our eye was the Wave Form Lamps, which were “developed with digital precision and hand crafted by artisans in Peru and Brooklyn,” and come in different sizes, glazes, and visual textures.  


Jamie and Michael remain constantly on the hunt for intriguing artists who share their appreciation for the evocative power of design and seek to evoke deep emotional connections through their work. The ICFF and WantedDesign shows presented a wealth of fascinating design, signifying a renaissance of creation and creativity after the brutal years of the pandemic. Our team is eager to collaborate with these artists to bring their work to future collections.

  • Cool website!

    My name’s Eric, and I just found your site – elysian-collective.com – while surfing the net. You showed up at the top of the search results, so I checked you out. Looks like what you’re doing is pretty cool.

    But if you don’t mind me asking – after someone like me stumbles across elysian-collective.com, what usually happens?

    Is your site generating leads for your business?

    I’m guessing some, but I also bet you’d like more… studies show that 7 out 10 who land on a site wind up leaving without a trace.

    Not good.

    Here’s a thought – what if there was an easy way for every visitor to “raise their hand” to get a phone call from you INSTANTLY… the second they hit your site and said, “call me now.”

    You can –

    Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It lets you know IMMEDIATELY – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re literally looking over your site.

    CLICK HERE http://boostleadgeneration.com to try out a Live Demo with Talk With Web Visitor now to see exactly how it works.

    Time is money when it comes to connecting with leads – the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes later can be huge – like 100 times better!

    That’s why we built out our new SMS Text With Lead feature… because once you’ve captured the visitor’s phone number, you can automatically start a text message (SMS) conversation.

    Think about the possibilities – even if you don’t close a deal then and there, you can follow up with text messages for new offers, content links, even just “how you doing?” notes to build a relationship.

    Wouldn’t that be cool?

    You could be converting up to 100X more leads today!

  • My name’s Eric and I just came across your website – elysian-collective.com – in the search results.

    Here’s what that means to me…

    Your SEO’s working.

    You’re getting eyeballs – mine at least.

    Your content’s pretty good, wouldn’t change a thing.

    BUT…

    Eyeballs don’t pay the bills.

    CUSTOMERS do.

    And studies show that 7 out of 10 visitors to a site like elysian-collective.com will drop by, take a gander, and then head for the hills without doing anything else.

    It’s like they never were even there.

    You can fix this.

    You can make it super-simple for them to raise their hand, say, “okay, let’s talk” without requiring them to even pull their cell phone from their pocket… thanks to Talk With Web Visitor.

    Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that sits on your site, ready and waiting to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It lets you know immediately – so you can talk to that lead immediately… without delay… BEFORE they head for those hills.

    CLICK HERE https://jumboleadmagnet.com to try out a Live Demo with Talk With Web Visitor now to see exactly how it works.

    Now it’s also true that when reaching out to hot leads, you MUST act fast – the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes later is huge – like 100 times better!

    That’s what makes our new SMS Text With Lead feature so powerful… you’ve got their phone number, so now you can start a text message (SMS) conversation with them… so even if they don’t take you up on your offer right away, you continue to text them new offers, new content, and new reasons to do business with you.

    This could change everything for you and your business.
