“High Point Market is the perfect venue to launch our new product line to the design world,” said Amanda Green, public relations manager for EK Reedy Furniture. “The Market reaches interior designers, buyers and representatives, and is the go-to Market for the professional trade industry. With so many buyers at Market, our furniture designs will be viewed, touched and discussed in a hands-on presentation with our team.”

The Suites at Market Square is also home to SALON, a curated design-focused selection of 50 fashion-forward companies featuring some of the latest designs in the furniture, lighting, rugs, wall art, home textile and decorative accessories categories. For Fall Market, newcomer Nicolette Mayer Collection (wallpaper and fabric) will join the other eight previously announced debuts in SALON.

Hospitality Design Studio returns to the Top Floor of the Suites at Market Square this Fall.

New exhibitors to date include: Kindel Grand Rapids (furniture); Look Walls & Interiors (wallcoverings); Sherwin Williams (paint solutions); and Simply Amish (home furnishings). These resources will supplement the hospitality/commercial offerings found in permanent showrooms throughout the Market.

Beyond exhibits, the Top Floor of the Suites at Market Square will offer marketgoers a wide range of educational and networking opportunities, including numerous seminars, tours and social events. There will be five “Suite Spot” tours with Ariene Bethea, House of Funk, Gary Inman, Circle Design Studio and Evette Rios; 11 CEU-accredited seminars addressing design, hospitality, home staging and more; a TrendWatch vignette showcasing dynamic on-trend products on the Ground Floor; and daily offerings of coffee and sweets on the Top Floor of the SAMS.
