By Home Furnishings Business in High Point on June 2007 Dick Idol, outdoorsman, artist and licensor of a growing line of home furnishings, and several of his brand partners will anchor a new “Rustic Pavilion” at High Point Market, Oct. 1-7.

The Rustic Pavilion will occupy 5,000 square feet on the first (top) floor of the Suites at Market Square in the heart of the High Point Market.

Several of the Dick Idol licensing partners already have signed on to participate in the Rustic Pavilion, including Shadow Mountain, Wild Wings, Natural Creations, Klaussner, and 2Day Designs. Categories include case goods, upholstery, occasional furniture, lighting, decorative accessories, area rugs, permanent floral arrangements, wall décor and art, bedding ensembles, pillows and throws, cold cast sculptures, bronze sculptures, and dinnerware and stemware.

“I was thrilled to hear about this new pavilion to showcase products that exemplify the outdoor lifestyle that I live and breathe,” said Dick Idol. “The demand by consumers for this category of home furnishings is increasing, and this pavilion will help buyers find those unique products that excite consumers.” 

 Dick Idol was the first to come to mind when Merchandise Mart Properties, which owns and operates the Suites at Market Square, decided to launch the Rustic Pavilion.

“I think that’s the first name that comes to mind for most people when they think about this category of home furnishings,” Walt Goldsby, vice president of leasing at MMPI.

Goldsby said the pavilion was created in response to the growing demand for rustic furniture and accessories. Creating one location for a concentrated offering of products in a single category makes shopping much easier for the buyers.
