“I am honoured to be the spokesperson for the 2015 Canadian Furniture Show. I’ve attended this show for years, and it’s a fantastic opportunity to see so many great furniture pieces from Canada and abroad, all under one roof. The Show has such a great cross-section of styles that I’m able to source the perfect item for each of my distinctive clients. I’m sure consumers will really enjoy this unique event,” says Karen Sealy.

“We are delighted to welcome Karen to the team for the 2015 Canadian Furniture Show. Her trademark enthusiasm and her passion for design make her a perfect fit for the Show. Previously known as The Canadian Home Furnishings Market or TCHFM, the Show is essentially a trade show that’s being refreshed and relaunched in 2015, with the noteworthy addition of Consumer Day on Sunday, June 7. Karen, who’s familiar with the Show, will radiate her wonderful energy and inspire consumers to visit us and meet her,” says Pierre Richard, President and CEO of the Show.
