You may want to register in  advance of the International Contemporary 
Furniture Fair, which begins 19 May in New York,  at the second annual vote 
at designzine.com.  In a couple of weeks, we will remind when ballot casting 
begins. 

Whether you register now or  cast your ballot later, you automatically become 
eligible to win a super high-design  product. Last year,s prizes included a 
felt chair by the Blue Dot boys, the  gold anniversary edition of Starck,s 
Juicy Salif, and an Emeco aluminum chair.

Since there will be a vast  number of off-site parties, exhibitions, and 
other events concurrent with the  fair, you will need one or all of these 
guides, available at the Javits Center  or on newsstands:

The ICFF bound-in  card in Time Out New York magazine, 17 May issue

In our own publication,  designzine.com, look into some of the new articles 
from our ,zine members,  which include a piece on Thomas Sandell and the 
resurgence of Scandinavian design,  by Monument,s Claes Britton. Thomas  has 
come a long way since designing for IKEA. Also, Rowan Moore provides some  
insights into Santiago Calatrava and his first two American buildings, in  
Metropolis.

Back to the ICFF  and the in-town events*even though they,re about business 
for most of us, they  can also be fun. So have some, but go easy on the 
cocktails.
