We reflect on some of the best exhibitors and most interesting new designs to emerge from last week’s ICFF in New York.

Wallpaper brand Calico introduced its Brass Cloth collection (pictured above)- a playful take on a timeless interior wall-covering known as grass-cloth. The Brooklyn-based studio have reimagined the classic design and come up with something altogether different, rich in metallics and iridescent style.
