Favorites from Ambiente 2012

Messe Frankfurt's Ambiente is a consumer goods fair that brings together design enthusiasts, buyers and trendsetters from all over the world. Ambiente 2012 exceeded all expectations, not only due to the high number of exhibitors, visitors and buyers present, but because of the quality and breadth of innovative new products displayed. Considering more than 150 countries participate in Ambiente—showcasing their wares on exhibition grounds spanning 578,000 square meters—it is quite impossible to not find inspiration or products to fill your shops, blogs or magazines with. Below are some of my favorite companies to exhibit at Ambiente 2012.
