Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the annual ICFF NYC is where residential construction pros go to see global and domestic modern products including lighting, door hardware, bath products, and much more.
Formerly the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, the show was renamed to better reflect its growing influence among building products manufactuers in a variety of categories.
This year’s show—being held May 20 to 23 at New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center—is expected to draw more than 36,000 interior designers, architects, retailers, representatives, distributors, facility managers, developers, manufacturers, store designers, and visual merchandisers. The last day of the show is open to the general public.
“ICFF annually lures those in determined pursuit of design’s timely truths and latest trends to an encyclopedic exhibition of up-to-the-moment offerings, as well as a series of fascinating, fun, edifying programs and a packed schedule of exhibits and features,” show organizers say.
The programs matter, but everyone heads to New York City to see the cool new products. We’ve done some research and we found some that you should see at this year's show.

Part of the 45° series, the 1200 wall-mount vanity measures 47¼ inches wide and features a 45-degree join on the two lower angles. It has a slim inner drawer and larger bottom drawer that provides ample storage. The frame is available in natural oak or white matte lacquer finish.
One of three new luminaire systems being introduced at the show, Alto has a strong upper conical shape and finishes with a jewel-like transparent element reminiscent of a cut diamond. The LED product transitions form a color temperature of 3000 degrees Kelvin at full brightness to a warm color temperature of 1800 degrees Kelvin when dimmed.
Inspired by the company's Laguna Beach roots and sailing, the new linear luminaire, Lenis, represents an aesthetic deviation for the brand: It features softer lines with more pronounced curves. The founders’ love for surfing, sailing, and spending time at the beach inspired the bent elements wrapped in form-fitting fabric.
Updating classic look cabinets with a modern spin, the Brioso Collection, named for the word “lively” in Italian, takes a playful yet simple approach to design that perfectly encapsulates the term, the company says. It features delicate, slender legs and subtle and geometric handles. The product’s handles and legs can be finished in the same vanity or cabinet color when requested. All of the furniture in the Brioso line is available with one or two drawers for additional storage.
