New Juried Exhibit Area to Debut at High Point Market

Furniture World News

As part of the third phase of a major renovation project, Market Square & Suites announced that it will open its new SALON area for the upcoming High Point Market, April 17-22. SALON will showcase the best design-driven home furnishings in the marketplace. Each company invited to participate was carefully selected and screened by a jury of retailers, designers, and national style editors. Working with this jury, MMPI has brought together an incredible selection of furniture, lighting, rugs, softgoods, and decorative accessories – most never before seen in High Point.
 
“The response to this new concept has been overwhelming,” said Karen Olson, vice president for MMPI. “We found many companies who had been interested in High Point Market but had not found the perfect venue within this larger Market in which to show. This new area, along with the extensive marketing opportunities that came with it, provided that venue.”
