I know you have dreams. Not the one where you’re falling and wake up floating, then realize you’re just falling the wrong way and then you wake up. Not that one.
The dream I speak of is the one where you go to New York City, set up a giant platform at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center and showcase a single furniture piece… rotating… in a spotlight… and free popcorn. Shapeways could make that dream come true. For the first time, they are holding a design contest to get your design in front of the thousands at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF). Here’s how to make it happen.

- Upload your model to Shapeways with the tag “ICFF11” before the 17th of April 2011
