[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]NEW YORK, NY—Juniper Design Studio, a fully integrated lighting design studio and manufacturing shop based in Brooklyn, New York, is excited to announce its return to the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, ICFF for its second year. Taking place May 21-24, at New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, the four-day fair will serve as a launchpad for brand’s new collections, which are set to be displayed in booth #1853.
Juniper’s booth, which will welcome ICFF’s over 33,000 annual attendees, was conceived by renowned New York artist, Drea Cofield. Tapped to create a booth design that would be welcoming, informative, and innovative, Cofield used her own craftsmanship to in turn, showcase the craftsmanship of Juniper’s lighting solutions. Assuming an eye-catching, modern aesthetic, the booth accentuates Juniper’s extensive range of offerings through interactive displays, which includes a 3D Virtual Reality Station. Rich, deep hues are also set alongside a wealth of murals, which marry the unique silhouettes of each collection with Juniper’s overall brand message to create great design.
“With this design, I wanted to play to the many strengths of Juniper’s products, which includes an ability to meld with a range of styles, from abstract and colorful to modern and minimalistic. By incorporating vibrant colors and imaginative scenes, this versatility comes alives,” comments Drea Cofield.
The booth is not just home to modern design elements, but also to a virtual reality station. A result of several collaborations with Oculus head designer, Peter Bristol, the station plays to the designers modern, forward-thinking design mentality, providing fresh perspective on common sense design. Each of Juniper’s collections, including the THIN Collection, are to be viewed in 3D using experiential headsets.
“Every component, every angle of our products divulge thoughtful design elements we want the user to be aware of. With the VR equipment in place, booth guests will be able to understand the product fully – on its own and in project installations,” adds Shant Madjarian.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”3927″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
