Read on for 14 designers to look forward to at the event:
Anony
These minimalist tubular lights are from the range Pola, designed by Toronto-based lighting design studio Anony, focusing on utilising local manufacturing capabilities.
The semicircular aluminium structures are designed to diffuse light softly and are available as sconces and pendants, as well as floor or table lamps.
Ceramicism
Kaleidoscopic patterns are cast by these lights handmade by Ceramicism, the studio of Brooklyn artist Dustin Barzell, which specialises in colourful and playful ceramic products.
Named Byte Lights, they are available in various sizes and intended as “a light show for your wall”, according to the brand.
Natan Moss Design
Designer Natan Moss aims to make “beautiful things” that enhance the spaces they reside in.
He creates lighting designs, decorative vessels, sculptures and high-end furniture, which are influenced by Japanese, Scandinavian and Italian design.
Moss is based in San Diego and New Mexico and his practice reflects the teachings of his uncle, David Cuzick, a Californian studio potter.
Charles Grantham
Brooklyn-based designer Charles Grantham has an eclectic portfolio of products, throughout which wood is a common material.
At ICFF, he will showcase wall sconces made from various bent woods lined with warm-toned metals, offering “a classic and elegant profile” with a soft glow.
Tibo
Among the most sculptural lights on the list are those by Montreal-based studio Tibo, which is known for its “original and bold yet simple lighting fixtures”.
This will include suspended pendants from Data, its collection of lights with a modular web-like structure that pays homage to the digital age. They are formed of brass and 3D-printed polymers.
Noiro Studio
Design brand Noiro Studio strives to create “handcrafted pieces that are both aesthetically pleasing and thought-provoking”.
At ICFF, it will exhibit its Cosmos lamps – its first-ever product range comprising table lights that emulate sculptures.
Finished in a range of colours, each piece is illuminated by an opal bulb for a softer and diffused light.
Olivia Barry By Hand
Olivia Barry By Hand is the eponymous brand of industrial designer Olivia Barry, who marries product innovation and art in her work.
This year’s Look Book will present her sculptural ceramic wall lights that emulate curved pieces of paper.
Justin Bailey
Lighting and furniture designer Justin Bailey creates lightweight objects and lights with a focus on “gestural forms and surface manipulation”.
Bailey’s designs are influenced by “space age design” and he creates pieces that explore the tension between organic and digital forms.
His Polyp Lighting series – pictured above – explores “expanding organic volume in lighting” and references hanging fruits such as apples and pears.
H. Bigeleisen Design
Brooklyn brand H. Bigeleisen Design, led by designer Hannah Bigeleisen, is known for its playful use of colour, pattern and texture.
This is evident in its Etta (above) and Sadelle architecturally-informed sconces, which marry decorative fringing with blocky hardwoods for “timeless beauty”.
Giulio D’Amore
Multi-media artist Giulio D’Amore‘s work centres around woodworking and lighting design. This gives rise to sculptural, curving light fixtures, hand-sculpted from layers of wood veneer.
“My primary inspiration is intersecting the interplay of light against the natural wood grain and random textures to create a visual spectacle,” he said.
INDO
These ornate lighting fixtures are the work of INDO, a lighting and furniture design brand that celebrates its founders’ Indian heritage in its work.
Among the designs on show at ICFF will be the Nath Sconce, which takes visual cues from Indian jewellery.
Nathan Chintala Design
Brooklyn-based designer Nathan Chintala creates handcrafted furniture and lighting that “blends timeless design with contemporary elegance”.
Chintala presents a collection named Lines as part of Look Book 2025, which focuses on objects featuring straight lines and various shapes.
The collection is a bid to explore the balance between form and function, whilst showcasing how his lighting and furniture designs can be used in both residential and commercial spaces.
Erin Lorek
A striking mix of material, colour and shape define the lighting designs of multi-disciplinary designer Erin Lorek.
This includes the Shiny Bits collection of colourful wall sconces, which combines plaster, acrylic and metal leaf, and draws on the Beaux-Arts movement and the Mummers Parade – a folk parade in Philadelphia during which people wear bright and colourful costumes.
Streicher Goods
Among the products that Brooklyn studio Streicher Goods will be exhibiting are its checkered lamps.
These exemplify the brand’s experiments in colour, shape and form through the use of handmade and hand-painted ceramics.
