I cannot believe another High Point Furniture and Accessory Market has come and gone.
This enormous, biannual international market is brimming with the latest and greatest from designers and companies around the world. It is what a runway show is for fashion, only it is for home fashion…and we do all the walking.
The latest furnishings, casegoods, fabrics, accessories, lighting, artwork, rugs, details and ideas, etc. are there on display to sell to the trade. It is eye candy like you have never seen and takes up building after building from their ground to top floors, for blocks and blocks.
I just adore going.
Here are a few things I thought you might enjoy seeing. While this is a tiny, tiny amount, it is fun to see what will slowly trickle down to the shelter magazines such as Traditional Home, Elle Decor and Architectural Digest, in the next year or so. I just snap quick shots with my little camera each time so you can imagine how amazing they are in person…
Enjoy!

Buying at the High Point Furniture and Accessory Market in North Carolina is great fun. Tiring and exhausting, but fun! I would love to know how many SKU’s I see a day there…it would have to be in the gazillions. I know many “newbies” to the market never return as it is an explosion of eye candy that not many minds can wrap around and retain – let alone mentally design with.
The article
KC Home Design published in this month’s issue tells all, titled, “Saturday,” but there just wasn’t room enough for everything! So here are more pics that I would like to share with you from the buying trip, too. I could talk about it all day….
This gives you a tiny taste of the ridiculous amounts of product I sift through to cherry pick for my wonderful and fab clients. Then…make it work for their lifestyle, architecture, budget and personal taste.
- Just a thing or two to sort through…
Couldn't resist a sit!
Stopping to refigure and record.
My partner and I having a good time in a contemporary showroom.
This chandelier makes me melt (thus the chair back for support).
She is such a sweet and talented woman!
Such a great feel. Would love to design a whole house around them...
The "latest and greatest" color for 2009!
These were pretty in the sun...
Looking from IHFC toward Showplace building. Fascinating architecture, don't you think?
Thank you so much
Kansas City Home Design, Eryn Swanson , Zach Lieberman and Katie Van Luchene and their loyal readers! Enjoy!
