York, PA — From their first kick-off event with the Architectural Digest show in New York City, The Kitchen and Bath Industry Show, West Edge Design Fair in Santa Monica, and as well as show partners across Europe, Designhounds promotes shows through the professional design platforms of its members. This year, they come full circle back in New York City with The Designhounds Partnership with the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF).

Being the largest network of its kind, Designhounds partners with design events to concept, program, produce, and promote disruptive events and activations with the focus of Designhounds NYC this May being on “Design For The Senses,” a part of the Designhounds Dare.To.Design program.

Dare.To.Design is about empowering design professionals as they expand their value propositions and explore their work’s impact on clients and projects alike.

“We are so excited to head to NYC as it feels full-circle to me,” says Designhounds founder Veronika Miller, “our first Designhounds trip was an NYC trade show, and I think ICFF has a lot of value to offer this community. Designhounds is a group of hungry designers ready to partner with brands they believe in, and I look forward to seeing what relationships come from this trip.”

Designhounds at the ICFF:

In addition to promoting the show through its media influencers, Designhounds will be programming a creative workshop and design influencer meet up at the “Water Studio X Grohe” at ICFF.

"We are thrilled to welcome Designhounds to ICFF this year as they present a creative workshop in The Water Studio by Grohe Lounge as part of their NY tour. Focusing on the materials, colors, and textures that impact human well-being is a perfect fit for our 2024 programming," states Odile Hainaut and Claire Pijoulat, Brand Directors of ICFF.

Beyond the day spent scouring ICFF for the newest products and trends, Designhounds NYC will focus more on Design For The Senses over three days of food and wine tastings, spa immersion, cooking classes, and an inspiring workshop that will see them creating sculptures in complete darkness.
