ICFF's Look Book 2026 will feature thirteen lighting designers when the show opens in New York this May. The curated exhibition, presented with design publication Dezeen, runs May 17 to 19 and centers on sculptural lighting alongside finely crafted furniture and material-driven objects. Julia Haney Montanez leads the program as curator. The shift toward highlighting lighting design separately reflects the medium's growing visibility in contemporary interiors. Lighting increasingly functions as standalone art rather than pure utility. The partnership with Dezeen signals how design publishing shapes which makers get gallery attention and commercial momentum. For emerging and established lighting designers, getting spotlighted here means retail interest, press coverage, and collector reach. Look Book operates as a discovery vehicle within ICFF's larger ecosystem of industry players, architects, and design buyers shopping for next-season pieces.
