Multi-exhibitor showroom Mill Collective will ramp up its presence this Fall, with the launch of a new brand identity, website, vendors and programming, at Plant Seven, High Point’s new center for culture and innovation, located at 410 W. English Rd, Shuttle Stop 27 (Red Line).
A unique resource for interior designers, architects and dealers, Mill Collective (formerly known as Mill Village Collective) has abbreviated its name and modernized its branding at the just-launched website millcollective.com.
Market attendees will find new vendors, including Skram Furniture, Miles & May Furniture Works, Cricket Radio Interiors, and returning exhibitors like BuzziSpace, Elijah Leed, Eugene Stoltzfus Furniture Design, and Sobremesa by Greenheart.
To accommodating new exhibitors, Mill Collective has expanded to 21,000 square feet from 15,000 square feet occupied at the Spring Market.
Located in the former Union Square building, now Plant Seven, Mill Collective will continue its focus at the biannual trade fair as a showcase for custom furnishings resources, sustainable product suppliers and innovative design.
