ICFF Design Week #ObjectHunt

Hey readers! As you know I’m headed up to ICFF tomorrow morning, and will be tweeting live like crazy on the @designmilk Twitter account. For those of you in NYC and ICFF attendees, we’ve teamed up with a bunch of great blogs and The Standard hotel and Dwell to create the ultimate NYC Design Week contest — it’s called #ObjectHunt.

The Gist

  • 8 top design blogs have gotten together to place vinyl stickers (with permission) around design landmarks of New York City.
  • Throughout Thursday May 13th to Tuesday May 18th, visitors to ICFF and New York can snap these images, Twitpic them with and post on Twitter with hashtag #ObjectHunt.
  • These are entered into a random draw for the grand prize of the Ultimate Design Getaway package courtesy of The Standard hotel, NOTCOT, and Dwell.
  • Stickers are just starting to go up and more will keep appearing throughout the weekend!
