One of our favorite times of year is when we at MDI all venture over to High Point, North Carolina for the twice-a-year furnishings industry trade show. With more than 70,000 in attendance, the spring 2015 High Point market is a huge gathering of designers, makers, and all sorts of exciting vendors. Here are a few things we loved about The International Home Furnishings Show.

Margaret:

I was intrigued by the classic lines of this Louis XVI styled chair, made by Global Views, and the modern acrylic material. Such a fun play of new material with an old design!

Alexis:

I loved the new collection from the Hable Sisters with Hickory Chair. It’s modern and eclectic but organic at the same time.

I think the exposed wood on the upholstery pieces is cool and different.

The quirky barstool with brass detailing and one brass leg is amazing!

Elisabeth:

The new barstool from Palecek particularly caught my eye. With its rattan pole frame, rattan peel weaving, and leather bindings, this espresso stool is classic Greek design.

Alex:

I loved the stainless steel frame/cubed shape and openness of the Dekker Chair from Bernhardt. I also thought the leather straps as arms were really interesting and unique! These combined elements made the chair sort of eclectic and contemporary…right up my alley!

Delta:

I liked the presence and wow factor that the Maya coffee table from Palecek would bring to an otherwise calm, neutral space.

The fall market is set for Oct.17-22, and we can’t wait to see what designs we’ll discover next! Which of these designs did you like best?
