High Point, NC – (September 30, 2016) – International Market Centers (IMC) today announced the major expansion of contemporary home furnishings company BDI in the Design Wing of the company’s International Home Furnishings (IHFC) building to a new showroom on the fifth floor (IHFC D-536). The expansion more than doubles BDI’s space and provides a larger footprint to showcase their innovative collection of functional furniture including an exceptional assortment of their very successful media, office and home entertainment collections. They join new tenants IMAB (D-1034), a new to High Point Italian import casegoods company and Quebec-based upholstered furniture company Jaymar on the fifth floor (D-508).

“BDI’s growth and success is a testament to their understanding of consumer demands and responding to them in the right way at the right time,” said Julie Messner, Senior Vice President of Furniture Leasing for IMC. “With the growing demand for functional furniture to keep pace with technology, it’s no surprise that BDI is an industry leader in these important categories. We are thrilled to be partners in their success today and far into the future.”
“Over the last 30+ years, our product collections have always been thoughtfully developed to offer the highest level of design while including smart function to adapt to the ever-changing technical requirements of our consumers,” said Lorri Kelley, President of BDI. “It became apparent very quickly that we needed a larger space to appropriately showcase our designs in such a way that really displays their well thought-out features and superior quality. Working with Julie and the entire IMC leasing team has been a true pleasure, and I am very excited about the upcoming Fall 2016 market. We look forward to working closely with IMC in the years to come.”
