Furniture World News Desk on 7/29/2024

Building on the growth of casual and outdoor sourcing at AmericasMart Atlanta, Casual Market Atlanta extends the market experience to its Fall edition, debuting a new four-day format with 70+ permanent showrooms and 50+ temporary exhibitors plus a full slate of hallmark events and education, September 16 – 19, 2024, at AmericasMart Atlanta.

"Demand for a second sourcing opportunity is palpable, and the addition of a full, four-day September buying event not only answers industry needs but also offers buyers and suppliers an unparalleled market experience twice a year,” said Dorothy Belshaw, ANDMORE℠ President. “Expansion of both exhibits and events in summer provides an opportunity for July market attendees to continue buying into the Fall and serves the needs of retailers who may be too busy during the summer months to attend market.”

Beginning in September 2024, the Fall edition of Casual Market Atlanta will include four full days of sourcing from both temporary exhibitors and permanent showrooms. The Fall buying event will showcase 120+ casual furniture and outdoor accessory brands on Floors 2-6 of Building 1 at AmericasMart Atlanta. Notable permanent showrooms include: Agio, Brown Jordan Brands, Gensun, Lloyd Flanders, O.W. Lee, POLYWOOD, Summer Classics, Sunset West, Telescope Casual, Treasure Garden, Vanguard and Woodard Brands. Notable temporary exhibits include: Artifex Designs; Classic Cushions & Umbrellas; C09 Design; Domiziani America; Erwin & Sons Direct Imports, Inc.; Panama Jack Outdoor & Sunroom Furniture; Rainbow Outdoor; Royal Teak Collection; Sunbrella; WeatherMax and Woodline Shade Solutions.A full list of exhibitors is available at CasualMarketAtlanta.com/showroom-exhibitor-listing.
