Look Book Offsite: Form and Feeling

During NYCxDESIGN, ICFF and AvroKO will present Form and Feeling, a special exhibition at Host on Howard from May 15–19, co-curated by Julia Haney Montanez, founder of The Design Release, and Program Curator of ICFF Look Book 2026, and AvroKO.

Form and Feeling brings together a group of North American independent design studios exploring the relationship between contemporary form and traditional materiality. Noble materials – stone, wood, paper, ceramic, and glass – are reimagined through unexpected shapes, somewhere between the crafted and the conceptual.

Presented at Host on Howard, AvroKO's gallery and gathering space dedicated to the intersection of hospitality, art, and design, the exhibition invites visitors to experience these works in a setting made for conversation and discovery.

Part of Look Book Offsite, Form and Feeling extends the spirit of ICFF beyond the fairgrounds and into the city.

The exhibition will open with a press and VIP preview, by invitation only, on May 15 from 12–7 PM, and remain on view May 16–19 from 12–6 PM.

The exhibition will feature the works of 15 invited designers, including Cuff Studio, Crafted Glory, Brett Paulin, Ian Love, Kate Dannessa, ridezign, Coil + Drift, Vy Voi, Thomas Yang, and Simon Johns.
