NEW YORK - The fast-growing ICFF design show, featuring the latest in cabinet, furniture and interior design trends, is now in its 28th year and is set to take place May 14-17 in New York City at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
A host of designers, craftsmen and manufacturers each year head to this event, described as "the premier North American global Design showcase" for interior furniture, seating, carpet and flooring, lighting, outdoor furniture, materials, wall coverings, accessories, textiles, kitchen and bath and fabricators. The 2015 show saw an increase in floor space, attendees and exhibitors.
More ICFF highlights
Last year ICFF introduced an expanded exhibition space to feature new categories and design offerings with the introduction of the Luxe Interiors + Design pavilion. That pavilion returns this year and is nearly doubled in size.
“The success of the introduction of the Luxe Interiors + Design pavilion prompted us to not only continue the feature, but double it for 2016,” said Kevin O’Keefe, ICFF Event Director. “By increasing the square footage, we are bringing in more than 100 exhibitors showcasing a mix of transitional and classic contemporary design brands.”
“The ICFF exhibition floor has grown by 30 percent over 2015, as the Fair welcomes some 150 new brands on two floors at the Javits Center in May,” O’Keefe says. “Expect to discover what’s outstanding and what’s next in furniture, lighting, wall coverings, surfaces, kitchen and bath. Be introduced to emerging designers from around the world.”
Later this year the design show will also introduce ICFF Miami on October 5 to 6, 2016, at the Miami Beach Convention Center. For more information, visit www.icff.com
