New lines, high-end product introductions and CEU-accredited seminars highlight offerings in the Hamilton Wrenn Properties for Spring 2019 High Point Market, April 6 – 10. Located in the center of the Hamilton Wrenn Design District, the 25 showrooms include furnishings for nearly every room of the home, as well as customizable lines that allow retailers and designers to differentiate their store or studio portfolio.

“The Hamilton Properties are a key High Point Market destination for designers and retailers looking for signature high-end product,” said Scott Eckman, executive vice president, president of furniture and home décor leasing for International Market Centers. “In addition to popular lines and product debuts, 200 Hamilton is a go-to site for CEU-accredited seminars that will help educate buyers and allow them to network with industry tastemakers.”

For Spring Market, in 200 North Hamilton, King Hickory (upholstered fabric and leather furniture) is debuting; Bruce Andrews Design (handcrafted furniture) is relocating; Fairfield Chair (fashion-forward furnishings) is expanding; and Stanley Furniture (wood furniture) is celebrating its 95th anniversary.

Other notable 200 North Hamilton showrooms include: Brownstone Furniture (bedroom, dining and occasional tables); California House (luxury game room furniture); Jonathan Charles Fine Furniture (furniture design with a contemporary twist.); Leathercraft (fine leather seating); Wildwood (on-trend lighting and home décor); and Yutzy Woodworking (solid wood bedroom and case goods).

Notable showrooms at 330 North Hamilton are Dorya (luxury furniture and interiors) and Resource Décor (original furniture and home accessories).

Additionally, 200 North Hamilton St. is home to Alden Parkes, a must-see showroom destination and a learning location among the Hamilton Wrenn properties. Along with their upscale product line, visitors to Alden Parkes can take advantage of numerous CEU-accredited seminars and "Showhouse in a Showroom," an event featuring the work of seven interior designers: Jeremy Bauer and Jason Clifton of Bauer/Clifton Interiors; Keia McSwain of Kimberly + Cameron Interiors; Kerrie Kelly of Kerrie Kelly Design Lab; Lisa Kahn of Lisa Kahn Designs; Rajini Alex of Rajini Alex Design and Shayla Copas of Shayla Copas Interiors.
