ICFF Newsstand, Bookstore, and Bar

Extra, Extra, Read All About It – in print! The ICFF Newsstand, Bookstore, and Bar are great draws at the ICFF each year. And so it should be. What better places are there to meet friends old and new to catch up on who’s hot, what’s new, and what’s next in design and design publications than at the ICFF Newsstand, Bookstore, and Bar? This year’s iteration of this trio is a logical, smart, sleek massing of contiguous spaces designed by Jennifer Carpenter Architect. The ICFF Newsstand kiosks include The Architect’s Newspaper, Frame, Interni, Intramuros, Metropolis, RCS, and Wallpaper*. Managing the ICFF Bookstore are Rizzoli’s design-savvy literati.

designboom mart

All protestations to the contrary, the analog and digital worlds still interact, and happily so, when it comes to matters of design and the design marketplace, as the designboom mart demonstrates year-in-and-year-out. This collaborative effort between the ICFF and designboom.com, Europe’s leading design-related e-zine, stops traffic every spring. The format is classic: the zine’s editors select the items for sale in a mesmerizing design bazaar under the Javits Center’s roof thrumming with activity for the ICFF’s duration. At the designboom mart, a true nexus of design culture and design commerce, the virtual becomes tangible – and the better for it. Participating designers show one to three products, network, and sell their designsouvenirs to help cover travel expenses. Stock is limited to 100 pieces maximum per stall; prices range from $10-$100.

ICFF Public Day

Tuesday, May 22, 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
Design is part of everyday life, part of popular culture, part of the obsession with style. It’s process and product, verb and noun – a way of solving problems great and small – and of making things look great and work, too. Where better to discover design that goes beyond the call of style than the ICFF? Tweet and text and E-mail – or phone – everyone in your social network to let them know that Tuesday, May 22, is the ICFF Public Day at the Javits Center. There's nothing virtual about it, except that if it's contemporary design they're interested in, it's virtually all there.

Tickets may be purchased in advance or onsite (by credit card only).
