By Home Furnishings Business in Case Goods on October 6, 2010 Case goods and upholstery vendor Fairmont Designs is moving its High Point Market showroom to the IHFC.

The 45,000-square-foot showroom, on the eighth floor of the IHFC's Commerce Wing space C867, will be ready for the opening of next week's Market, said Brian Edwards, president of Fairmont Designs. This is a strategic move for Fairmont Designs which is committed to High Point Market. Edwards said the move is a critical first step of a 10-year growth plan for the company.

"The company's expansion into upholstery adds another level to the company's offering," Edwards said. "We are planning to expand nationally with an upholstery plant in North Carolina to service our East Coast customers."

Diversification gives Fairmont Designs formidable reach into multiple categories, but it also balances the company against unpredictable markets.

"If one category is being affected by the economy, the others can help keep our factory running and the balance sheet healthy," Edwards said. "It is a testament to our senior management and owner George Tsai that has kept Fairmont Designs moving forward for 26 years. The vision, the diversification of the offerings, the ability to foresee trends and adjust to them is the driving force that will take Fairmont Designs to a new level of business."
