High Point Furniture Market: Finds {part one}

High Point, North Carolina, is the destination for everything related to furnishings.  Twice a year, for a week at a clip, this town is completely dedicated to the Furniture Industry.  The largest trade show of it's kind in the world is filled with manufacturers, product designers, press, industry celebs, trend spotters, interior designers + shop keepers from all over the globe.  

 

 The folks at the High Point Market Authority are seasoned pros that know their business + know how to make it look easy.  Every detail from transportation ~ food ~ lodging was perfectly planned to eliminate confusion for their 80K attendees.  Quite a task with over ten million square feet of showroom space welcoming guest from more than 100 countries!

 This was not my first visit to the event, but I promised myself that I must carve out time to visit regularly. Sad that the showrooms are only open these 2 weeks/yr + only open To-The-Trade.  Party atmosphere mixed with business, it was great to see my NYC peers in a different environment as well as my old/new Twitter friends.  

The social media buzz was serious business + non-stop.  So if you were reading along with my Twitter feed, @EncoreDecor you could feel + see the excitement as if you were there.

Since my goal was to explore the trends, visit in-depth resources I purchase from in NYC + learn about new Vendors, my trip was no doubt a great success.

Here a just a few of the images I took home:

 Watch for my upcoming posts on beds + case goods as there were so many beautiful pieces, so well designed 
that even I had a hard time deciding which were in my top ten list.  Right now my head is spinning from looking here, looking there + everywhere in-between.

This seems like a great event, if you're into interior design. In particular I like the 3x5 circles on the white wall, are they wallpaper circles? And the last picture is amazing, as it creates a great effect and with the lighting it looks like a french cafe. It's really exquisite.

I attend High Point as well. I would love to know the showrooms where you took each picture.
