For this edition, the thematic focus “Designing in Harmony” serves to reflect the diversity and dynamism of the global industry and the world at large. This approach underscores craftsmanship, sustainability, and the human connection at the heart of design, creating an environment that fosters genuine connection, sparks creativity, and celebrates innovation. With immersive exhibits, engaging discussions, and strategic networking opportunities, ICFF is where the design community converges to explore new ideas and shape the future of design.

Navigating a Changing Market

As the U.S. market continues to evolve—marked by global economic and political flux, as well as the impact of unpredictable natural disasters such as those recently experienced in Los Angeles— ICFF is keenly attuned to the emerging needs and fresh opportunities in the design industry. These challenges underscore the importance of adaptable, sustainable, and inclusive solutions. By convening the global design community, ICFF aims to spark meaningful dialogue and innovation that will shape a more resilient future for both the industry and the end-users it serves.




“Creativity and empathy are the foundational principles that should continue to guide our industry as we shape the future. Its mission is to design spaces, products, and experiences that address the needs of tomorrow, creating a future that is both optimistic and sustainable. It is through this lens that we will contribute to a stronger economy for the design industry while continuing to innovate in ways that are thoughtful and human centered. ICFF’s goal is to align with and support this mission.”

ICFF Brand Directors Odile Hainaut and Claire Pijoulat.



A Fresh Floor Plan

The 2025 floor plan has been thoughtfully redesigned to create distinct destinations under one roof. Each area will offer a unique experience, enabling a smoother flow for both exhibitors and visitors. Designed by RADS (Rodolfo Agrella Design Studio), the overall look, feel, and layout echo ICFF’s holistic, human-centered approach—creating spaces that encourage organic interaction and engaging dialogues.
