The International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) is North America’s premier design fair. This year, the landmark show returns to the Javits Center in NYC May 19-21 with a more curated and interactive approach. To commemorate its 35^th anniversary, the fair celebrates design with exciting new initiatives, thought-provoking programming, and spectacular spaces.

450+ global exhibitors will come together to display the best-in-class contemporary furniture, accessories, lighting, textiles, and more. Known for its global exposure, networking opportunities, and access to industry knowledge, ICFF connects design professionals, architects, interior designers, and design enthusiasts.  

The 2024 edition will include more spaces to explore, lounge, network, and converse. New this year includes: Bespoke: The Art of Making, presented with AD PRO, a space that will celebrate the skill and expertise of high-end artisans and daily activations hosted by AD PRO will take place in the Bespoke Salon, designed by MA | Morris Adjmi Architects (ICFF Designer of the Year, 2023); The Library in partnership with Phaidon which will host activations for the new release Designed for Life: The World’s Best Product Designers and a curated library; OFS x ROOM which will launch a podcast with the leading voices in global design discussing the ideas reshaping how we live and work recorded live from the show floor; and dedicated areas for complementary products such as Materials, Outdoor Living, and Kitchen & Bath, featuring The Water Studio x Grohe Lounge.

WANTED, formerly WantedDesign Manhattan, has quickly become the destination for discovering new talent around the world and the place to engage with a diverse professional network and initiate new collaborations. This year, WANTED will continue to support the next generation of design professionals through their continued programs: Look Book presented with media partner Dezeen and with the support of Turf; Launch Pad sponsored by American Standard and Lumens and presented with media partners Design Milk and Clever; the Schools Showcase; the Design Schools Workshop sponsored and conducted with Honda R&D Co., Ltd. Honda Design, in partnership with Pratt Institute and media partner Core 77; and the WANTED Lounge x Lumens.

At the heart of the fair, the newest iteration of The Crossroads exhibition will focus on sustainability. In a collaboration between ICFF, David Rockwell, Rockwell Group, and curator Pei-Ru Keh, this edition will spotlight the way designers seek to preserve long-honored craft traditions, together with how they push the boundaries of circularity to consciously re-think the legitimacy of material use. The Crossroads is sponsored by Lead Partners Designtex and Skram; Partner Loose Parts, and Supporting Partners Alexis & Ginger, Colony, Liora Manné, Office of Tangible Space, and Okaterra. There are also contributions from Elodie Blanchard, MushLume Lighting, Lichen, Like Minded Objects, Kamilla Csegzi, Madeline Isakson, and thehighkey.
