High Point Market introductions

With Earth Day occurring near the end of the month, I find April to be a great time to renew our commitment to creating beautiful spaces that also foster sustainability. In this edition of Design Business Blueprint, we’re addressing the topic of sustainability and how interior designers and professionals in the home furnishings industry can pave the way for a cleaner, greener future.

The Met is taking over High Point Market, unveiling debut collections with Eichholtz and Scalamandre, along with expanding its collaborations with key home décor brands like Abner Henry (furniture), Ann Gish (bedding), Caspari (entertaining), Exquisite Rugs (carpets), and Wendover Art Group (wall art). Scroll on to explore their new offerings and delve into how The Met carefully selects its licensing partners.

In the most recent episode of “The Designer Within” podcast, host John McClain welcomed Courtney Porter, editor in chief of “Decor News Now” and a distinguished figure in the design industry. This detailed and engaging episode delved into various facets of the design world, with a special focus on how to navigate High Point Furniture Market this week.

The newly designed showroom will debut and highlight 250+ new pieces across seven captivating collections. Also, on Saturday at 2:00 p.m., Oliver Gal will host an educational event at The Point on Commerce Avenue, one block from the Transportation Terminal in High Point. Oliver Gal’s Chief Creative Director and Co-Founder, Lola Sanchez, with editor-in-chief and design consultant Courtney Porter, will lead an open discussion and informational entitled “In Style and On the Money – Start with Art.”
