The 2012 IDS show had one really cool product that stood out above all, The Flux Chair. It is a modern folding chair unlike any before its time, truly innovative. The majority of foldable chairs are designed foremost for function, concentrating on the ability to be compact, stack well and ergonomically tolerable. The Flux Chair, on the other hand, looks absolutely fabulous, modern and artistic. What is even more miraculous is that it flattens to a large looking portfolio case, fantastic for functions or parties. You could probably pile a hundred on one skid, or throw one into the trunk of your car and have a designer lawn chair at the next outdoor jazz festival. Lightweight, waterproof, recyclable and gorgeous, what else could one ask for in a collapsible chair. They come in several different colors and can be accessorized with a Flux cushion. There is even a Flux chair for kids that are scaled to a smaller size. They remind me of Japanese paper origami. Flux is definitely a company to keep an eye on for pioneering new designs.
Every year the IDS show attracts a variety of lighting vendors, this year they seemed to have turned it up a notch with a lot more bling. One particular fixture stood out as if it were the new crystal ball. It was made from intricately laser cut stainless steel in a mirror finish that was then intertwined with dangling pieces of crystals. Definitely a sparkler.
The IDS show is a yearly event that is just cool to attend. This year’s show, however, would be a little disappointing for those who wanted to see a variety of modern furniture ranging from affordable EQ3, CB2 to ultra high end Avenue and Kiosk furnishings. There seemed to be a crossover of more home show vendors. Regardless, if you are a person who is meticulous about the items you buy for your home, than the IDS show is the perfect place to go snoop.
