ICFF

May 18 – May 20, 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM

As North America’s leading platform for global design, ICFF, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, remains at the epicenter of design culture, commerce, and community in the industry. For the 2025 edition, the thematic focus is “Designing in Harmony,” emphasizing human-centered, multi-sensory, and multicultural design that reflects the diversity and dynamism of the global industry and the world. This approach underscores craftsmanship, sustainability, and the human connection at the heart of design, creating an environment that fosters genuine connection, sparks creativity, and celebrates innovation.

Here’s what you can expect at ICFF this year:

  • 450+ brands from over 35 countries showcasing innovative furnishing products for residential, contract, and hospitality environments.
  • Inspiration at every turn through ICFF Talks—panel sessions, keynote presentations, and conversations led by industry icons including Patrizia Moroso, Daniel Germani, Thomas Krizmanic (Gensler New York), and Giulio Cappellini.

Must-see features:

  • WANTED spotlights fresh talent through Launch Pad, Look Book, the Design Schools Workshop, and the Schools Showcase.
  • Bespoke: The Art of Making, presented with AD PRO and Architectural Digest, highlights high-end artisans and their finely crafted furnishings, textiles, and finishes. At its center is the Bespoke Salon, designed by MAWD | March and White Design, hosting daily activations and serving as a beautiful space for meetings, networking, and relaxation.
  • Opportunities to network and collaborate with 10,000+ architects, interior designers, retailers, distributors, developers, and members of the press,

With immersive exhibits, engaging conversations, and strategic networking opportunities, ICFF is where the design community converges to explore new ideas and shape the future of design.
