Las Vegas Temporary Exhibit Grows Again

The 35,000-square-foot temporary exhibitor space on the second floor of World Market Center's Building B is sold out, with more than 80 companies set to show, including a number of first-time exhibitors.

Newcomers include Fusion Designs, a producer of high-quality dining, occasional, living room and bedroom furniture made in the United States by Amish craftsmen; Reclaimed Rustic Woodworks, a producer of living, dining, bedroom and office furniture and cabinets made from barn wood and other reclaimed materials; Sleep Angel, a designer and producer of innovative sleep technologies, including pillows and covers; and the Authentic Home Furnishings Association Pavilion, which will feature nearly a dozen producers of ready-to-finish wood furniture.

The B2 floor also will feature a special 2,000-square-foot area near its entrance showcasing five resources specializing in designs inspired by the American Southwest. These exhibitors include Southwest Looms, offering Southwestern-design area rugs and Navajo reproduction carpets; Silverado Home, top-of-bed products and tabletop items in Western, ranch, Southwestern, Old World and Tuscany styles; Tables and More, rustic-design dining and occasional tables, chests, barstools and bedroom furniture; American West by Paladin Inds., upholstery with rustic styling reminiscent of a lake cottage or mountain retreat; and Karen Kreek Camp Design Furniture, rustic, hand-painted log cabin furnishings with wildlife art motifs. At the July Las Vegas Market, Tables and More received "best booth" honors.

B2 also features a wide range of other leading resources such as Borkholder, a producer of authentic, Amish-crafted dining room, bedroom, occasional, office and entertainment furniture and the floor's largest exhibitor; Alder & Tweed, a source of furniture and home accents for vacation home destinations, which has expanded its space this market; and Old Hickory Furniture, offering hand-crafted heirloom furniture and accents for lodges, resorts, cabins and homes in rustic, Western, lodge, Mountain Modern and Arts & Crafts styling.

Furnituredealer.net, a full-service provider of online marketing solutions, also exhibits on B2.

"B2 provides retailers with an exciting mix of hidden gems, one-of-a-kind products and up-and-coming sources all in one easy-to-shop location that's right in the middle of all the Las Vegas Market action," said Jonathan Papesh, leasing manager for B2. "This market, we're featuring the strongest lineup of temporary exhibitors yet, covering the most space since this area has been on campus."
