FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda In a sea of large-scale exhibitors at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, The Designboom mart is full of small gems. The market offers designers an opportunity for emerging designers to bring attention to their work, while established designers have the opportunity to showcase new product concepts.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Designboom mart. The items are focused around a theme of “home and travel” and range from $10 to $100. Below are some TreeHugger favorites, selected from among the exhibitors.
