Playful Plates
Brooklyn’s Alissia Melka-Teichroew makes rounded ceramic dishes that look like paper plates bent to fit someone’s hand. That means they’re easy to hold—and strikingly different.
A Touch of Batman Style
Hollywood-based Swede Harald Belker used to build vehicles for Porsche and Mercedes, and eventually went on to build futuristic cars or Minority Report, Armageddon, and Spider-Man, and even designed the Batmobile for Batman Begins. To bring a bit of the caped crusader’s style to an event, check out the sleek and durable Maxelle chair Belker designed for Lyx Furniture & Light. Made of fiberglass, the Maxelle can withstand harsh outdoor conditions, from battering rain to withering sun to drenching humidity. It costs $2,000, and can be purchased at Space Downtown.
A Modern Bookshelf
The Pisa bookshelf from Tippy Tippens is a stylish alternative to messy piles of trade-show collateral—bolt it to your booth for an eye-catching display. The cotton canvas pockets can be customized to any color; the retail price is $1,800.
Furniture that Flattens in a Flash
Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, design firm Blue Marmalade makes mod polymer furniture that flattens easily, making it a cool choice for mobile marketing campaigns, or an operation that’s low on storage space but high on style.
