By Home Furnishings Business in Markets on September 2008 The CA Boom Design Show, a West Coast contemporary design trade show and exhibition, has lined up 15 exhibitors so far for its first East Coast show, CA Boom East, during High Point Market, Oct. 20-26.

The show is set for Mill Village located at 1014 Mill Ave. in High Point. Cisco Bros. Furniture renovated the former plant for its showroom.

Like CA Boom East’s West Coast predecessor, CA Boom EAST is set to showcase strictly modern, non-traditional products that are authentically designed and manufactured in the designer’s country of origin. Among the 15 exhibitors from various design disciplines that will show in High Point: Animavi, BAZZEO, Berndt Woods Inc., Bevara Design House, blankblank, Bottega Montana, Carol Hicks Bolton Antiques, Cisco Brothers Furniture, Davistudio, Groundwork, John Derian Furniture, Ku Ambience, Luisana Designs & Antiques, Obleek Objects and P.Casero. With the exception of Cisco Bros., the majority of these designers will be showing in High Point for the very first time.

CA Boom creator and executive producer Charles Trotter selected High Point Market in North Carolina as the location for CA Boom EAST with the goal of offering a larger assembly of the world’s top buyers and retailers access to today’s cutting-edge, undiscovered contemporary design talent.

“The CA Boom Design Shows continues to attract some of the most exciting design talent that has yet to be discovered, and CA Boom EAST will be no exception,” Trotter said. “We have already compiled an impressive group of designers for our CA Boom EAST show which will further establish High Point as not only the world’s largest furnishings tradeshow, but as a cultivator of tomorrow’s top contemporary designers.”

“Over the years ... High Point has grown to encompass some 2,000 companies from around the globe exhibiting more than 60 categories of home furnishings in every imaginable style and price point. And there’s no doubt that contemporary design has been coming on strong across the Market,” said Brian Casey, president and chief executive officer of the High Point Market Authority. “We applaud the vision that has led to the inception of CA Boom East and the exciting shopping experience it represents. We think Ca Boom East is a tremendous addition to the High Point Market and look forward to introducing the next generation of contemporary designers to our Market-goers this Fall.”
