North America’s premier platform for what’s up-and-coming in contemporary design, the 26th annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), returns May 17 to 20 to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City, bringing together 570 exhibitors from 33 countries, touting the best in design of furniture, flooring, lighting, and materials over 165,000 square feet space.
Like a fashion week for furniture, the fair is where designers go to launch their new creations and where the public goes to get a glimpse of what's new in the world of design. Branch chandeliers were popularized here, as were technology-friendly tables and consoles.
This year’s fair has filled up 30 percent more quickly than last year, and will draw close to 30,000 interior designers, architects, retailers, developers, facility managers, wholesalers, store design professionals, hotel and restaurant designers, and manufacturers. Produced and managed by GLM, ICFF is also debuting a few partnerships, including one with Architizer on their second annual A+ Awards, which honors the best architecture, spaces, and products in more than 60 categories, and another with the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) to present an array of educational sessions during the fair’s run.
Confirmed exhibitors for ICFF 2014 include: Assembly Design, Calico Wallpaper, Council, Egg Collective, Flavor Paper, Fritz Hansen, Gabriel Scott, Inside Norway, Interiors from Spain, Kasthall USA Inc., Lladro, O&G, Phillip Jeffries, Rich Brilliant Willing, and Vitra.
