Several times a year, MDI packs up the car and hits the markets. Atlanta and High Point each host markets twice a year where furniture, lighting, rugs, accessories galore are on display with the newest season’s additions. Sounds fun, right? Right! (note tiny hint of sarcasm).
Yes! High Point and Atlanta are some of the most inspirational, fun and stimulating weeks of our design year but they are by far some of the most exhausting. Up and hitting the booths by 8 am not to retire for dinner until 7:30 pm. Whew. Taking pictures left and right. Taking notes in hopes of remembering everything that we have seen.
In honor of this falls impending trip (October 15-18), here are some favorite images from markets past.
These blankets by Jonathan Adler not only add great color but they feel oh so yummy! We may or may not have come home with almost one in every color. Oops.So refreshing to see a new way to use palm fronds at the Pearson showroomDwell Studios is taking the industry by storm. Not only do we love their pieces but we love how they use them.
