- Designboom Mart 2010<p>One of the best parts of the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/index.php?s=icff">International Contemporary Furniture Fair</a> every year is the <a href="http://www.designboom.com/nymart07nl.html">Designboom Mart</a> -- a little section, curated by the website <a href="http://www.designboom.com/">Designboom</a>, that is filled with fun designs by up-and-coming independent designers from around the globe. The best part: unlike the rest of ICFF, you can actually buy all the design goodness that is on display at the Designboom Mart. This year's <a href="http://www.designboom.com/nymart07nl.html">Mart</a> did not disappoint - click through the gallery to have a peek at our favorite finds!1
