"...Buoyed by a valiant display of inventiveness by a number of mainly small
furniture-makers and individual designers/artisans, the ICFF topped last
month's Salone
Internazionale
del Mobile in Milan, as far as excitement goes.
"...it was
at the ICFF that acts of real design triumphed...

"...And
Walter Rossi, an architect and sculptor from Italy who has been living in
New York, showed how it's possible to make beautiful iron furniture more
comfortable. He developed a system for upholstering his seating pieces. He
steams and bends wood over the iron frame and attaches a thin layer of
upholstered cush.
