New York Spring

The city’s weeklong celebration of design will be vibrant as ever this year.

New York Design Week is the best place in North America to discover fresh talent and exhibitors from around the globe. Anchored by the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), the annual celebration of design includes a host of satellite events and exhibitions—from the hugely successful WantedDesign to American debuts by leading European manufacturers, in addition to pop-up stores and a design film festival.

At this year’s ICFF, the biggest presence will again be the trade show groups, including the British European Design Group (with 42 designers), Interiors from Spain (show-casing 14 companies), Ceramic Tiles of Italy (with ten manufacturers), and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO, with 14 companies). First-time exhibitors—numbering more than 150 this year—offer a wide variety of choices: Caesarstone, Seattle-based Tom Kundig, and retailers such as The Future Perfect and Matter are all making their ICFF debuts. Here are just a few of the new designs you’ll see at the fair this month.

CAPDELL ECO 500T CHAIR Designed by Carlos Tíscar, this stackable lounge chair has a complex skeletal structure that, devoid of edges, radiates such strength and stability that it seems to emerge from the ground rather than being supported by it.
