The world’s largest furniture fair has come and gone and I haven’t moved an inch. It’s true. Here I sit at my desk in Toronto, trying to catch just a glimpse of all the fun from last week.

So, here it is. My best attempt at a virtual round-up from Milan’s 50th anniversary show:

Cast concrete pendant lights by Foscarini. These remind me of the Benjamin Hubert lights I featured a little while back.

Tom Dixon paired up with Blackberry to promote the upcoming launch of their Playbook tablet (i.e. ipad challenger) and his own collection. There was an interactive installation including a theatre, restaurant, broadcasting center, etc…Love the idea behind this.

The British designer also showcased a few new pieces, including The Etch Shade shown below. It’s a pretty wild new lighting collection made of digitally etched brass sheets.

Hermes launched its first collection of furniture. Here’s a shot of a chair designed by Enzo Mari.

Below: Patricia Urquiola’s modernized Windsor chair.

Target bookshelf by Nendo. Very creative take on this household staple.

Super Sputnik Stools by Ahmet Sismanoglu (Sisman) and Counterbalance fixture by Daniel Rybakken. Both part of the best young designers showcase.

Finally, these Frana pencil & paperclip holders by Christophe Guberan/ECAL for Alessi are right up my alley. These obviously aren’t major furniture pieces, but something fun that would spruce up my desk nicely. I can’t seem to resist grey and yellow these days.

So there you have it. Now, wouldn’t it be nice to actually get to be there in person next year!
