	Accent on Design Totem Design Group is pleased to show several exciting products at the New York Gift Fair on August 19, 2000.

	G7 New York Totem has teamed up with Surface Magazine and Bombay Sapphire to challenge the notion that good design and the meaning of "modern" must necessarily be dictated by European designers and manufacturers. Coming straight from an off-site showing during the Salone Internationale del Mobile in Milan 2000, G7, comprised of seven American upstarts, now present their latest work together for a second time during the ICFF in New York. Offering an alternative design paradigm to the one dominant at the large fairs, G7 proposes to steal some thunder away from the old standards in furniture and industrial design.

	International Contemporary Furniture Fair Upholding the standard of extraordinary performance, the 12th edition of the annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), held May 20-23 at New York City's Jacob K.

The expanded base of international exhibitors fueled a highly-charged four-day comprehensive compendium of programs, exhibits and features that drew a record-breaking number of qualified attendees. More than 15,000 attendees viewed the Fair, a solid 11 percent increase over the 1999 edition of the ICFF.

	100% Design Most trade fairs offer a bewildering mix of the good, the bad and the ugly, with emphasis on the latter. 100% Design, held in London October 5-8, though, has higher aspirations. Spanning a broad spectrum of furniture, furnishings and accessories, the four-day event feels like an upmarket department store.
