High Point, NC – (August 17, 2017) – International Market Centers has announced that several new exhibitors will make their market debut in SALON during October High Point Market.

Located in the Suites at Market Square on the Ground and Mezzanine floors, SALON features design-focused, fashion-forward companies and their latest designs in the furniture, lighting, rugs, wall art, home textile and decorative accessories categories.  For High Point Market Fall 2017, new exhibitors in SALON include Flitch, Kenneth Cobonpue, Bend Goods, Alexander Lucent Gallery and Robin Baron.

“SALON is a must-see destination for any buyer looking for cutting-edge product resources,” said Julie Messner, senior vice president of furniture and home décor leasing for International Market Centers. “In an era of competition for customers and clients like no other, it is more important than ever for buyers to find innovative home furnishings for their stores and design studios.”
Flitch Furniture showcases geometry-driven, modular pieces inspired by Danish and Mid-Century modern designs. The Raleigh, N.C.-based company offers items including: beds with matching-width benches; single-, double- and triple-base storage units; new low- and high-back chairs and a foyer shoe cubby.
