The Best of ICFF 2019 (Including Our Milk Stand!)

Another #NYCxDESIGN week has come and passed and we’re still taking in all the cool new products and designs we saw at ICFF 2019. After scouring each and every row, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite pieces from this massive show that we think you should know about.

But first, we have to give a special shoutout to our Milk Stand popup shop! You might have noticed the eye-catching, topographical design of our booth as you passed by. It was designed by Michael Yarinsky, an architect and interior designer based in Brooklyn. An experiment long in development, Michael Yarinsky Studio has been trying to find novel ways to soften the hard edges of architecture in form, material, and use of space. In this experiment, Michael wrote code to simulate the behavior and form of a rumpled bedlinen. This height field is then expressed in topographical drawing and physical relief giving the feeling of a monumental scale. The drawings are expressed in a field of dense fine lines and from a distance have the feeling of soft shading. The reliefs in plywood make the drawings tangible and tactile.

This year the Milk Stand housed our 15 independent designers + makers who came from all over to showcase their latest collections.

beroep|tech’s modern jewelry collection comprises easy-to-wear, everyday pieces.

Bethanie Kaye’s hand-crafted spoons, bowls, and candlestick holders highlight the beauty of the wood grain.

Graf Lantz debuted new cushions and his colorful felt coasters add a pop of color to any table.

Harlem Heirloom showcased their candle collection made with intoxicating scents of santal, fig, leather, and more.

KARU’s textiles and clothing are all thoughtfully designed with that artisanal touch that makes each piece so special.

Kevin Wilcoxson Studio experiments with colors, glazes, and clay forms in his ceramics collection of bowls and cups.

KONZUK debuted her new Household collection of concrete vessels inspired by her Orbis jewelry collection.

KROFT makes functional and minimalist home accessories that are designed to make your life a little easier.

LACE by Jenny Wu’s new modern wedding jewelry collection is simply dazzlingly.

LUPA and MGG Studio collaborated on an earring design inspired by Katrina’s handbag collection.

SSEN’s line of handwoven textiles are unique because they’re made with naturally dyed fibers, creating colors that can’t be easily replicated.

TRIPTYCH designs statement-making, architecturally-inspired shoes that are sure to steal second glances from passerbyes.

WAIWAI uses discarded leather scraps and gives them a second life with her leather jewelry collection.

Wood&Faulk’s new leather bags and home accessories are made to be used instead of babied so that, over time, the natural patina develops to highlight the beauty of the leather.
