During the ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) in New York (may 16-19), designboom held its fifth annual 'Design Mart'.

I was there for last year's and it was the best part of the fair (that and the Umbra and Moooi exhibits).

From designboom:

"for the fifth time in New York, designboom provided an unprecedented opportunity to meet the young avant-garde and become familiar with their work. Visitors were able to buy design souvenirs and limited edition pieces directly from the designers themselves"

If I remember correctly, nothing at the mart costs more than $100. Here are some of my favourites!
