NEW YORK — The International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) delivered a multi-sensory and multicultural design experience at its recent run in New York City. The event, held at the Jacob Javits Convention Center May 18 through 20, welcomed over 13,000 attendees and saw a 5% increase in the attendee-to-exhibitor ratio in 2025 over 2024.
Over three days, more than 400 established and emerging design brands representing 35 countries, presented furniture, materials and textiles, lighting, flooring and rugs, kitchen and bath products, wallcoverings, and assorted objects for commercial, residential, and hospitality environments.
“We are thrilled with this edition of ICFF. The quality of the exhibitors and the effort they put into creating thoughtful, creative, and inspiring presentations truly stood out. Their work beautifully aligned with our goal of offering a unique, elevated, and positive experience for all attendees,” says ICFF brand directors Odile Hainaut and Claire Pijoulat. “The balance between the expanding WANTED area and the core ICFF exhibition was especially powerful. Emerging designers brought fresh, exciting work that infused the fair with energy and excitement. Both parts of the show complemented each other seamlessly.”
In addition to the exhibits, more than 80 design leaders, editors and emerging talents took the stage for panels, keynotes and special showcases at The Main Stage and The Oasis, drawing an audience of 1,500, according to show organizers. Also, nearly 30 speakers led more intimate, thought-provoking conversations in the Bespoke Salon, the Aqua Atelier by Grohe space, and the Juniper Recharge Lounge.
“This year, the quality and diversity of the programming was stronger than ever before, becoming an integral part of the ICFF experience. The wide range of talks, panels, and special events added depth and richness to the show, reinforcing its role as a key platform for design innovation and thought leadership. Despite the current economic climate, we saw increases across the board — attendance numbers were up, engagement was high, and we’ve already seen strong renewal momentum for 2026,” added Hainaut and Pijoulat.
