We are thrilled to announce that Rockwell Group has designed The Crossroads at ICFF for the second year, co-curated again with collaborator Pei-Ru Keh.
The Crossroads exhibition offers a snapshot of American design by featuring work by designers and studios from across the country. The focal point of this year’s installation is sustainability, in all its complexity.
Each day of ICFF, The Crossroads will be activated by its designers through lively informal discussions. Led by Untapped’s Editor in Chief Tiffany Jow, each Dialogue will focus on a different topic: community, endurance, and material innovation.
