Fold - New design by Terhi Tuominen will be shown at the ICFF -International Contemporary Furniture Fair, in New York alongside the Blackbird flock, which design experts have honoured through the red dot award: product design 2008.

The characteristic feature of the wood comes in its geometrical folds. With precision to the fine detailing acute angles are used to create the 3-dimensional surfaces given to the seat and backrest. Ultimately this results in an ultra smart, lightweight stackable dining chair.

Presented at the ICFF, North America’s premier event for contemporary design, the yearly fair draws the most diverse assemblage of design professionals to an extraordinary display of the world’s cutting-edge modern furniture, a rigorous curriculum of programs, and a full calendar of ancillary exhibits and features.

Blackbird - Red dot design award 2008

In one of the most renowned and hardest international design competitions, the red dot design award, the Blackbird by Terhi Tuominen has just received an honourable mention from the top-class expert jury.

With more than 3,200 products submitted to the competition, the product clearly stands out from the masses, because this year the design experts for the first time awarded honourable mentions to those products which distinguished themselves with particularly successful design details.

The festive awards presentation with more than 1,000 guests will take place in the Essen Opera House, the Aalto Theatre, on 23 June 2008.
