The list includes Man Wah Cheers (FP-410); Canal Dover (PS-412); Amax Leather (FP-215); Chintaly Imports (FP-214); Global Home (PS-410); Decor-Rest (PS-212); and Moto Sleep (NFM-9), a vertically integrated producer of adjustable beds, recliners and furniture components.
Man Wah will be launching the Jeff Foxworthy Home Collection, the entertainer’s first licensed home furnishings product and Man Wah’s first-ever licensed collection.
“The fact that this is the first time that Jeff is taking his name into the home furnishings arena makes this launch all the more special,” said Guy Ray, CEO of Man Wah USA.
Decor-Rest is launching new motion upholstery and dining collections for Spring Market, and is moving to Plaza Suites for the first time
“We moved to Plaza Suites primarily to double our presence in High Point and now we are able to display all our lifestyle collections in one centrally located showroom,” said Angelo JR Marzilli, president of Decor-Rest. “Being easy to get to during market helps a lot, as dealers are usually pressed for time.”
“For dealers looking for fashion, quality and service, we will help them stand out,” he added. “We are a family owned company since 1972, and our team of more than 300 employees build solid construction, well-designed furniture that is made to last. We encourage dealers to stop by and walk our space; the value in the product will speak for itself.”
Powell, a long-time National Furniture Mart tenant, is celebrating the company’s 50th year of business with a Golden Anniversary Cocktail Party on Friday April 13 from 5-9 p.m. According to company officials, Powell will offer many “golden” specials during Spring Market.
“Powell will be coming out with a raft Beer-themed collection this market, and to bring the whole experience together, we are joining with a couple of local craft breweries and will have genuine craft beer tastings in the showroom daily from 4-6:30p.m.,” said Neely Jo Peck, merchandising manager. “These breweries will offer a couple of different types of beer a day for customers to sip on while they shop the collection.”
