WHAT A GREAT ICFF!!!

Well....it's over! What an unbelievable event.....at the show and all around.

Although, it was hard to tell that from the Times coverage.

Yes, I know it's not Milan........but what is????

As usual, I will go over the fair and events over a period of days...there's just too much!

From all accounts, attendance was up and the exhibitors I spoke to were really happy...and believe me...I hear it if they aren't!

I thought for the most part - the booths looked great - Herman Miller was fantastic! As was Pablo, Lutron, IXC, HBF, Kartell.........so many to mention. There were, unfortunately, some misses too....You make the call:

There's more....but you get the message....I hope some firms do as well!

I have to say the Spanish did a great job of display - with a great "pavilion" that housed their companies but gave them each individuality of brand. I thought the Thailand group did a wonderful job too....Kudos!

Display is so important in any show....it shows brand, philosphy, potential, image....so many things. Putting up just any structure and bringing just any furniture.........does more to harm the brand and image than help. I hope "they know who they are"!

Business was booming despite the "economy" - and I heard some wonderful success stories of potential business and new contacts. Congrats to all that participated and came.

More to come.....
