About three isles into the International Contemporary Furniture Fair last week, I found myself entranced by the glowing lanterns of Dform (above), an assortment of patterned wood veneer lamps and screens that I probably should have known about already. They’re amazing.

As I continued strolling along, pretty much everything I saw after that was patterned wood, like the sculptural lamps and dressers of Brent Comber.

A bench from Thai company Yothaka (actually pineapple fiber paper)

A dresser by Studio Cochineal

A shade fabricated out of woven wood from The Shade Store

And then it just became a fixed idea. I was seeing acrylic sconces printed with photographic images of trees. (CP Lighting)

Anodized aluminum pendant lamps that resemble collections of little sticks. (David D’Imperio)

Screens with twigs embedded in resin. (Thicket Natural, from 3Form’s Nest collection)

Wine racks composed of wooden orbs. (Congenial)

Bookshelves arranged like branches or a rough tree house. (Rainer Mutsch)

Couches with faeries floating among tree leaves. (Marcel Wanders for Moooi)

Metal benches cut out with a graphic facsimile of a branch. (Albero by Joseph Ricchio with Kara Larsen, Botanist Blank Canvas series for Orange22)

Beds for the homeless printed with a forest pattern reminiscent of Where the Wild Things Are. (Savannah College of Art and Design)

Floorlamps made of bamboo. (Meadow by Nori Morimoto)

Even sliding kitchen cabinet doors with tree-ish patterns CNC-etched into the surface (hard to see but trust me). They call it “Dandelion,” but then why all the accompanying tree installations?

This is a very expensive limited edition Noguchi bamboo basket chair.

This cantilevered bed is a little bulky, but a neat concept (DDG Designs). The tiny showroom space didn’t show it off to the greatest effect. Image is from the Web site.

And speaking of small spaces, this wallpaper reminded me of the windows I painted on the walls when I was living in a six-by-six room in a basement on Ludlow Street in 1997. It’s called “Frames” by English artists Chris Taylor and Craig Wood for Graham & Brown.
