Mike and Maaike, the designers who envisioned the end of driving for us last July, are launching three new products at ICFF this year in New York: Swarm, a new space divider for Council, Wayfinder Wallpaper for Rollout, and Bias Candleholders for Phase.

Swarm is a space divider that offers great flexibility in density and scale, enabling the creation of light-filled, intimate spaces within open environments. The term Swarm describes an aggregation of animals (insects, fish, birds and microorganisms) of similar size and body orientation, generally cruising in the same direction. The Swarm space divider displays a similar behavior, softening spaces, fading in and out, creating texture and motion. The self-standing units blend together when arranged in groups.

See Swarm at ICFF booth 1708 and a large installation surrounding the ICFF theater.

Wayfinder is a line of wallpaper designed to serve a functional purpose within the context of architecture. Wallpaper is typically decorative. Symbols are typically functional. The combination of the two creates new possibilities for architects, interior designers and space planners.

See Wayfinder at ICFF booth 1153.

Part of the "Illuminate" series of candle holders commissioned by Phase design, Bias triggers curiosity and defies gravity with it's subtle tilt. Each designer was given the same design brief and material palette: a 12" X 9" X 1.75" block of solid walnut with turned brass inserts.

See Phase at PROPERTY: 10 Years of Important Design at 14 Wooster St., New York.

Mike and Maaike will also be showing a collection of new and old pieces at 400 sq. Feet Later: Cite Goes America, curated by Alissia Melka-Teichroew and Jan Habraken.

More shots after the jump.
