The International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) 2025 returned to New York City with a bold theme: Designing in Harmony. For its 36th year, the fair brought together top brands and emerging talent from across the globe, with standout showcases from Brazil, Italy, France, India, and Japan. The event spotlighted everything from cutting-edge sustainability to timeless craftsmanship and heritage values.
Visitors were welcomed with Ligne Roset’s elegant lounge while this year’s Bespoke Salon designed by MAWD highlighted sensory-driven design. From emerging talent at Wanted Design to Form & Forest exhibition of rare and iconic wood furniture, ICFF 2025 has been a great stage. We have curated our favorite furniture designs from the event, which are listed below.
