Centered around the theme Common Ground: A Global Dialogue on Design and Shared Values, this year’s ICFF partnered with Habitat for Humanity New York City and Westchester, with a portion of every registration supporting the organization’s work to expand access to permanently affordable homeownership and advance equitable housing solutions across the region. Organizers announced this is the final year ICFF will take place during NYCxDesign in May—starting in 2027, the show will move to November to collocate with BD|NY. Here are a few highlights from the show—from cactus leather wall coverings to brutalist-inspired hardware.

Echo wall covering is made of supple Nopal cactus leather, a plant-based material sustainably harvested from organic plantations in Mexico. Using only the mature leaves of the cactus allows for a renewable production cycle that is entirely PVC and phthalate free, while the manufacturing process relies on natural ranching and sun-drying techniques that require no irrigation or pesticides. Backed with a recycled acoustic substrate (NRC 0.50) and water-based adhesive, this wallcovering comes in black, blue and green in 24’’ x 12’’ modules, allowing for one-of-a-kind installations.

Designed by New York-based artist Liam Lee, the Paint By Numbers textile collection includes four vibrant patterns that draw inspiration from Lee’s recent paintings that incorporate forms derived by paint-by-numbers kits. Magic Eye recalls the computer-generated graphics from the ‘90s. Woven from 78% post-consumer recycled polyester, it is also suitable for wrapped panels. Pointillist takes a cue from the art movement by integrating points of color through boucle-yarns suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Rounding out the collection is Gridwork, with textured yarns made from 95% post-consumer recycled polyester, and Impasto, a textured velvet made in Germany.

The Istituto Europeo di Design (IED), the largest network of European Arts and Design schools, presented the exhibition Rural Futures at WantedDesign during the show. Made of birch wood and renewable cork, the sustainably designed, modular installation was produced locally in New York and created for zero-waste assembly. One highlight was Caliu by student Judith Aubà, a modular system crafted from cork that investigates circular design processes, local sourcing, and adaptable structures for the rural environment. Another was Foremyc, a group project in which an innovative device supports forest ecosystems through environmental monitoring and intervention.

New from Lo & Co Interiors, a South-Australian architectural hardware company, is the Maximus collection. Defined by bold forms, precision detailing, and a refined material palette, Maximus was inspired by the raw geometry of brutalist architecture and includes a pull, door entry pull, and knob. Sharp, faceted edges extending along the handle system and a strong silhouette give each piece a sculptural presence, elevated by high-polished solid brass and nickel finishes. For a softer, more organic feel, the collection also comes in a “living” oil-rubbed bronze finish designed to patina over time.

The Vancouver-based decorative luminaire studio and manufacturer A-N-D presented the Tier linear pendant entirely made of extruded aluminum. The series includes a reflector and an underlying LED that is housed opposite of it, concealing the direct light source. A refined, scalloped surface allows light to reflect off the overlying body and disperse evenly. Tier is formatted as a pendant and segmented in multiples that can be stacked horizontally or vertically.
