ICFF champions North American design at Look Book 2026

Promotion: New York's International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) is partnering with Dezeen for the 10th edition of its Look Book design exhibition, which spotlights North American design.

ICFF is North America's premier event for contemporary design, offering international brands a gateway to the US market. The event takes place 17-19 May 2026 at the Javits Center in New York City.

The exhibition will present the work of more than 70 designers, and aims to connect members of the art and design community with high-end North American designers, makers and entrepreneurs.

The organisers view the event as an opportunity for curators, interior designers, buyers and architects to source original designs for a range of residential, hospitality and commercial projects.

"Each year at ICFF, thousands gather to visit the fair's exhibitions and programmes to see what's new, fresh and upcoming in design and Look Book is a not-to-be-missed destination at the show," said ICFF brand directors Odile Hainaut and Claire Pijoulat.
