Dutailier Relocates High Point Showroom

Glider rocker and juvenile case goods supplier Dutailier plans to relocate its
High Point Market showroom to the
International Home Furnishings Center for the fall market.
The company's new showroom will be located at 520 Hamilton. Dutailier's former showroom was located in
Furniture Plaza. "Our look is more European and our new space at the IHFC puts us among other manufacturers whose look is similar to ours," said David Fontaine, vice president of marketing and customer service for Dutailier. "By showing in the IHFC, we expect to see many more buyers that we haven't seen before. I honestly do not think many of the buyers knew who we were. Now they will."
The 30-year-old company is located just outside of Montreal, and acquired E.G. Furniture in 2003, which enabled the company to expand its product offering beyond glider rockers.
Most recently, Dutailier has expanded to offer recliners, which will be shown in High Point. "These new products are comfort recliners with a glide feature," Fontaine said. "It is a unique action that is very comfortable, very relaxing. We offer this full collection in fabrics and leathers."
