High Point Market FALL2 O14 - Amazon S3 · 2017-01-03 · High Point Market is a trade show that...

High Point Market is a trade show that lives up to every exaggeration. All the witty one-liners about sensible shoes,

product-overload and parties at every street corner are actually true. The industry’s bi-annual fair boasts 2,000

exhibitors in 180 buildings that cover 12 million square feet of showroom space—literally, something for everyone.

Whether it’s a maiden voyage or a veteran lap, every High Point attendee needs a good strategy.

As editors and Market devotees, we thought about how to streamline the experience for the 10,000-plus interior

designers who attend each edition, and so we’ve devised the first-ever, ultra-detailed and totally essential

Designers’ Guide to High Point. Consider it an insider survival kit (organized with Virgo-like pragmatism) that

provides a comprehensive look at what design events to RSVP for, how to navigate the scene and where the experts

go for the best Market scores (and breathers). You’ll tour amazing places; you’ll learn business strategies; you’ll gain

no less than 40 new Instagram followers, and eventually you’ll need a cocktail. So grab your highlighter and an extra

phone charger, and let the shopping begin!

30“My favorite spot is dinner at the Proximity Hotel

and loading up on coffee in the lobby in the morning before heading out. Also, Hobby Lobby rocks when

you can’t take any more shopping, and a walk around the lake feels like you have gone a

million miles away.”

Jason Oliver NixonInterior Designer

“I am crazy about the hamburgers at The Dog House, a High Point staple, and the sandwiches at The

Parsons Table. And Baker Furniture is always a must visit—Dale Schmidlin is one of the best salespeople

in the business, and the showroom is so aspirational and magical.”

“The O. Henry has the best beds. The Parson’s Table has the best ‘ironic’ food. Century is up there for the best ‘real’ food. Natuzzi has the best coffee (and they have

to because they are Italian). Moore Councill has the best candy selection. The Lee Industries party is not to be

missed. But oddly, the one thing I look forward to more than anything each trek to High Point is seeing the Art

Deco post office which has nothing to do with Market at all. I just love that building. It’s very sturdy-looking

and quietly regal.”

“I really like the vibe and energy from those temporary showrooms in InterHall and Market Square.

Those are my first go-to destinations when I get to Market every time. Not only do I see fantastic new

and unique products, but it puts me in the mood to shop for days.”

James DruckmanPresident of the New York Design Center

Saigon Restaurant in Greensboro.”

“The best thing about High Point is seeing friends who you haven’t seen since last market. My crew and I

always make sure to do that at KIRAROKE at McPhersons Bar in Greensboro. Always a blast!”

“When I’m not in my own showroom at Vanguard Furniture or up on their amazing rooftop bar for one of their annual Vanguard family dinners with our fabulous sales team and amazing buyers, you’ll find me roaming

around to my other partners’ showrooms, including Soicher Marin, Safavieh, Kravet and Eastern Accents

(I never miss having one of Ridvan’s delicious sangrias…it’s the perfect afternoon pick-me-up!). My home-away-from-home during market is the

Proximity Hotel, and as many of you know, you can oftentimes find me at the bar at their Print Works

Bistro after a long day of showroom-ing.”

“There are so many options for places to stay these days, but I still like the O. Henry. The traditional

atmosphere is peaceful, and their sunny breakfast room is a great place to start the day. And, it’s always reassuring to find Jim Druckman there

at breakfast, ready to champion the people and companies making a difference in our business.”
