A select collection of design showrooms will anchor AmericasMart's Floor 15 expansion with nine exhibitors committed for the January 2015 debut and with additional commitments in the works.
The first showrooms anchoring the new Home & Design floor are: Design Legacy by Kelly O’Neal, CODARUS, Gabby, Bliss Studio, Calvin Klein by Veronica Flam, Rene Cazares by Veronica Flam, Lowcountry Originals., Jamie Young Co. and Wendover Art Group.
The floor will also feature home brands including: Abyss, Bandhini Homeware Design, Barbara Cosgrove Lamps, Bella Notte, Benson Cobb Studios, Couture Lamps, Dash & Albert, Fresh American, Gilded Nola, Habidecor, Lili Allessandra, Low Country Luxe, Moss Studio, Pine Cone Hill, Pom Pom at Home, Square Feathers Home, Waylande Gregory, and Zoe Bios Creative.
The showrooms include expanded collections from existing AmericasMart showroom owners and new lines taking their first permanent space at the market. The Floor 15 expanded selection aligns with AmericasMart’s ongoing dedication to an intuitive buying experience – buyers and designers can find more product resources more efficiently both during the shows and between the markets.
“We are committed to offering a broad selection of outstanding lines to our buyers,” said Dave Savula, executive vice president for AmericasMart. “Expanding our Home & Design selection to another floor means there more options available, presented in a high-end, design atmosphere.”
The floor is also home to a dedicated workspace so designers can consult with their clients onsite while sourcing products for projects. It is another facet of a comprehensive product resource experience, all designed with the buyer in mind.
In addition to the market week, all Floor 15 showrooms will be open Monday through Friday between shows so buyers and designers can access the product throughout the year. The collection joins a full floor of design-focused home accents and furnishings on Floor 14 as well as six floors of home accents, furnishings and fine linens products, four floors of integrated home and rug collections, and five floors of holiday, floral and home décor product in AmericasMart Building 1.
