The International Contemporary Furniture Fair is almost here! What is it? Four days and 145,000 square feet of the world’s coolest contemporary home goods from 500+ international exhibitors! <\/p>\n
And next week, forecasting giant Trend Union will be presenting their trends for 2011 and 2012!
\n
\nThe ICFF is North America’s most important annual trade show for contemporary interior design. For four days, May 15-18, tens of thousands of designers, manufacturers, architects, retailers, distributors, and developers will converge on the Jacob Javits Center to present and peruse the world’s best and most creative home goods. It’s like the Olympics without all the B.O.<\/p>\n
Are you exhibiting at ICFF? We’d like to share your awesomeness with BLTD readers around the world in a special pre-show preview, so send pics<\/a> of your projects and merchandise! On May 13th, fashion insiders will gather at the New School’s Tishman Auditorium. The room will hum with talk of future collections, of the latest pictures on Jak & Jil<\/a>, and of Tyra and Raven from Rupaul’s Drag Race<\/a>, among other things. Then the lights will dim, ears will perk, and all eyes will focus on Li Edelkoort as she glides across the stage, turns to face the audience head-on, and outlines some of the most precious details about the future…details of trends in: color, materials, pattern, silhouette, architecture, and lifestyle.<\/p>\n 9:00am Doors open These are great audiovisual presentations that will inspire and spark the creative spirit.
