ICFF New York 2025: Design Trends and Takeaways

ICFF New York once again delivered a powerful reminder of how design shapes the way we live, and we’ve returned from the 2025 edition feeling truly inspired. Held at the Javits Center from May 18 to 20, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair is North America’s leading platform for contemporary furniture design. The fair’s global reach, commitment to sustainability, and emphasis on originality continue to align with our values at Guidon Studio.

Featuring over 450 brands from more than 35 countries, ICFF showcased an incredible range of innovations across furniture, lighting, textiles, and wallcoverings. This year’s theme, “Designing in Harmony,” underscored a collective movement toward inclusive, human-centered design and the future of sustainable living.

Some standout exhibitors included Ethnicraft, Bernhardt Design, Tala, Juniper, and JD Staron—each presenting bold ideas and fresh approaches to materials, form, and function. The ICFF Talks series brought another layer of insight, with thought-provoking panels on emerging materials, evolving industry standards, and future-forward design narratives.

Beyond the show floor, what truly sets ICFF apart is its sense of community. From dynamic exchanges with global designers to immersive brand activations and networking events, the fair cultivated a space for creativity and collaboration. At Guidon Studio, we’re energized by the ideas and connections sparked at ICFF 2025 and look forward to integrating this inspiration into the spaces we craft for our clients.

Warm Regards,

Guidon Studio
