ART Moving to Larger High Point Showroom

By Home Furnishings Business in High Point on June 2007 Case goods importer ART Furniture, Ontario, Calif., will move its High Point showroom to a new 37,000-square-foot space on the second floor of Plaza Suites on Main Street in time for this fall’s High Point Market.

The 4-year-old company had occupied 28,000 square feet in Market Suites.

CEO Ed Grund said the decision to expand in High Point is a response to ART’s success in attracting key retailers to its 18 original design collections.

“The powerful reaction we’ve enjoyed from the very first sale to Weir’s Furniture in Dallas of our American Sampler Collection, (which continues in its popularity) to our new introductions at each subsequent market, has compelled us to continue to expand our showroom space,” Grund said. “This investment reflects our commitment to the High Point Market, and an ongoing desire to increase the convenience of our location.”

ART had doubled its space within two years of opening its High Point showroom in 2003, Grund said. Expanded amenities at the new showroom include a free limo service, and daily catered lunches and cocktails served in a large, well-appointed area.

In addition, ART Furniture is scheduled to move to Building C of Las Vegas’ World Market Center in July 2008, when it will increase its showroom size at the Las Vegas Market from 8,000 to 22,000 square feet.
