For the furniture industry, the new millennium kicks off in style with the Toronto International Home Furnishings Market, at the International Center near Lester B. Pearson International Airport from January 15 to 18, 2000. The show, a major event for industry professionals, serves as a launching pad for all the latest, greatest products from Canadian home furnishings manufacturers. More than 400 Canadian manufacturers, including those who operate the 75 permanent showrooms in Canada's Furniture Mart, plus a number of exhibitors from the U.S. and ether countries, will be vying for position with their brand-new collections, packed with features on every consumer's wish list. All in all, there's half a million square feet of products to discover: wood and metal furniture, upholstered pieces, bedding, lighting, decorative accessories, and furniture and accessories for children and teens. Over the past four years, the show has been on a steady growth curve, with a 30% hike in the number of exhibitors and a 40% increase in square footage.
