The annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), is the showcase event of New York Design Week and by definition a fantastic place to see all of the latest trends in furniture and interior design.

If this Giant Pink Banana looks familiar, it might be because you’ve seen one like it offered as a prize for winning one of the games at Luna Park in Coney Island.

Live in NYC long enough and eventually you’ll see everything.
