Last week, design professionals from all over the world descended on New York for three days of new product immersion at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF). With a thematic focus on “Designing in Harmony,” this year’s event emphasized human-centered, multi-sensory and multicultural design that “reflects the diversity and dynamism of the global industry and the world at large.”
Below, browse our editors’ favorite moments from this year’s ICFF:
These unexpected mashups of seating and high-impact maximalism made the Keff Joons installation by CJ Hendry one of ICFF 2025’s most memorable impressions.
We loved learning about Heller’s commitment to the planet and their 100% regenerative products, powered by Worry Free Plastics technology. Their makeup of a recycled plastic polyethylene blend leads to a microplastic-free end-of-life.
Stepping into the Art Nouveau-inspired world of MORPHO by Tomorrowland was a dreamy immersion into the creative minds behind the renowned music festival. Their first foray into furnishings, the pieces took cues from nature, like the dragonfly wings that inspired this chair back.
In a world littered with unimaginative audio equipment, we liked that Leon Speakers offers pieces as artful as the sound that you’ll be playing on them.
We love when the ordinary is made extraordinary, like the marble and travertine architectural hardware we spotted at Lo & Co.
We enjoyed speaking to Yonathan Moore about his flux aluminum drape, which possesses an uncommon juxtaposition of lightness and permeance — and can be combined with elements such as seating or shelving for a variety of functions.
The ISIBO Pendant from Arkivio made us wish the design came in necklace form.
The Totemique collection from Appartement2 supplies whimsical design, with saturated color options and a variety of adornments, while also providing useful storage.
We got lost in an otherworldly daydream when gazing upon the lighting at Larose Guyon.
Studio Bucky was showing off their Portals Mirror, which was serving Bedrock realness in a way we think Fred Flintstone would call a yabba-dabba-do.
We were struck by the majesty of nature and the talent of artisans with the Curved Dining Table by ArboREAL.
Bone-colored pieces from Humble Matter — a multi-media art and design practice that encompasses ceramics, furniture, lighting, sculpture, painting and drawing — really popped against the backdrop of their vivid orange display space.
We admired the guided freedom of these table lamps by Samuel Aguirre. Made from materials like hemp and paper, they are left to fall as they will when removed from their mold so that no two will ever be precisely the same.
We enjoy making a statement through design and new sculptures from Ian Love | Design do just that.
With their organic shapes and cheerful colors, Polyp Lamps from Justin Bailey Design seem to possess personalities all their own.
The undulated ribbon shapes of these light sculptures from Giulio D’Amore Studio had onlookers hypnotized by their alluring glow.
Hush Acoustics was not the only brand showing off noise-control solutions with far more design appeal than traditional soundproofing materials.
We so admire when functional pieces showcase creative personality, like the latest seating options from Jomo Tariku.
Of several thoughtful panel discussions we attended, one of our favorites featured Andrea Keller of Star Tile discussing the powerful impact of objects that look and feel handmade on the human psyche.
