Top Spots to Hit at High Point Market

[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]
Designer friends who are visiting High Point Market for the first time often ask for suggestions of my favorite showrooms to visit.  This year, I decided to share some of my favorite showrooms that are must sees!  Let’s start with my first day at market!  
 
Tomorrow I plan to hit Hickory Chair first!   I love this North Carolina Company for the beautiful furniture they produce.  I am excited Hickory Chair is one of my sponsors for market which means I get to interview Alexa Hampton, Suzanne Kasler, Mariette Himes Gomez and Hable Construction when I get there!  I can’t wait to see the new introductions and chat with the designers about their inspiration behind the designs.  I get as excited as I did when I was a child on Christmas morning.  Hickory Chair has a new showroom this market!  Make sure you don’t miss it!  They are now located on the 3rd floor of Market Square  Space MS324.

I have been busy designing outdoor living spaces lately therefore, I plan to make a visit to Lane Venture.  I love Lane Venture because it is made of the finest products and offers such chic styling.  I am crazy about their new upholstered pieces.  There are many items in this line I would also use indoors.  I am dying to sit in their wicker recliner.  I’m hearing rave reviews about this piece of furniture. This company offers great occasional tables and accent pieces as well. Lane Venture also has a new showroom space which is located at Market Square 348

Barry Dixon for Arteriors

I always look forward to visiting the Arteriors Showroom to see what beauty my friend, Barry Dixon has created.  I have already had a sneak peek at new introductions to the line when I saw Barry and owner, Mark Moussa in Dallas recently.  I think buyers are going to love the new introductions.  The inspiration, time and effort that it takes to bring a line like Arteriors to market is mind boggling.  Mark and Barry are a great team because both are so enthusiastic   about what they do.  Make sure you put Arteriors on your market schedule.  Arteriors is located at IHFC H320.
