ICFF just ended and we already miss it, now it’s time to do a quick recap for those that weren’t able to go.

The 30th annual ICFF NYC has come to an end, so here and now it’s time to reflect on what we learned during the fair and do a small review of what were our favorite moments.

NYCxDESIGN Awards & ICFF Opening Party

The NYCxDESIGN Awards & Party is a highlight of NYCxDESIGN, New York City’s annual celebration of design that attracts hundreds of thousands of attendees and designers from across the globe. This year it was no different, the NYCxDESIGN Awards honored outstanding products and projects in categories that span major areas of design, from architecture to interiors, from products to accessories, from craft to technology.

Kicking off the 30th edition of ICFF at the must-attend opening Party immediately following the NYCxDESIGN Awards, it’s the Gala Party which featured an open bar, passed hors d’oeuvres and had live entertainment.

ICFF Announces Silent Auction to End Alzheimer’s and the Education Fund Award presented by the IIDA Foundation – in Memory of Anna Hernandez of Luna Textiles

This year for the first time, ICFF hosted a silent auction during the fair which proceeds benefited the Alzheimer’s Association and the Anna Hernandez/Luna Textiles Education Fund Award in memory of Anna Hernandez, the award-winning founder of Luna Textiles, who succumbed to Alzheimer’s at the age of 56. The award recognizes her distinguished career and female business owners whose firms specialize in interior design or product design. The first $5,000 raised will be used to match the Anna Hernandez-Luna Textiles Education Fund Award, given to an up and coming female designer.

This new design industry initiative involved the fair’s 900 exhibiting companies who were invited to donate the latest designs in flooring, carpets, kitchen & bath products, and art objects to be auctioned off to the ICFF audience of more than 36,000 in a 1,600 square foot pavilion where attendees bidded on items during the course of the four-day fair. After matching the Education Fund Award, the remaining proceeds from the silent auction were donated to the Alzheimer’s Association, the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research.

ICFF TALKS

We were able to see and learn a lot from the other experts in the industry, in the most diverse topics, such as “You’re Choosing the Right Colors…or Are You? A Look at Color through the Lens of Emotions and Big Data”, “Hospitality Trends” and “The impact of the Internet on the Interior Design Profession”.
