Takashi and Maki Ifuji established their design studio in Gifu, Japan, in 2002, and have since created a range of clever furniture, housewares, and lighting products. Their booth is part of the British European Design Group’s exhibition at this year’s ICFF and features the polyester Coprimi wine bottle cover by Maki and the reversible felt Barchetta trays by Takashi. Each is multifunctional: when not keeping a bottle of Pinot Grigio cold, Coprimi can serve as a slender bud vase, and the variously-sized Barchetta trays are stylish and convenient catch-alls for cell phones, change, and sundry bric-a-brac.
