Virginia Tech and five other schools were winners of the ICFF Design School competition and the winning work will be exhibited at the fair.
The 17th annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair is North America's premier event for contemporary design, drawing design professionals to an extraordinary display of the world's cutting-edge modern furniture, a rigorous curriculum of programs, and a full calendar of exhibits and features.
More than 18,000 interior designers, architects, retailers, facility managers, wholesalers, store design professionals, hotel and restaurant designers, manufacturers, students, and media participate.
Part of the fair each year is the ICFF Design School competition, where educational institutions submit work which must formulate a problem and present a design solution in the form of original student-designed products and prototypes.
The Industrial Design Program in the School of Architecture + Design's winning entry is "Material Presence," which presents new research by students into the expressive capacities of materials and processes.
