History
ICFF was founded in 1989 and held its first edition at New York's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in May of that year, launched as a dedicated platform for contemporary furniture and industrial design. What began as a relatively intimate showcase of experimental, idiosyncratic work has grown into North America's definitive event for forward-thinking design.
Since 1993, the fair has recognized selected exhibitors with the ICFF Editors Awards. Over nearly four decades, ICFF has adapted to industry shifts—embracing sustainability, digital integration, and, in the post-pandemic era, a renewed focus on global dialogue and shared human values. The fair celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2024. It is now organized by Emerald X, LLC (formerly Emerald Expositions).
