High Point Design Center open during Showtime
Facility extends hours for designers
Susan M. Andrews -- Furniture Today, November 16, 2007
HIGH POINT — Interior designers have another reason to come to Showtime here next month thanks to an arrangement with the High Point Design Center, where dozens of furniture and accessory showrooms will be open for an extra day to accommodate fabric market attendees.
HPDC will be open as usual for its First Wednesday Designer Day on Dec. 5 and will remain open on Thursday, Dec. 6. Showtime runs Dec. 2-5.
“Our mission is to make Showtime an incomparable value as a business venue for our members and their customers, and we are fortunate to hold the event close to many wholesale furniture showrooms,” said Catherine Morsell, director of the International Textile Market Assn. , which produces the semiannual Showtime event for its members.
“With cooperation of the High Point Design Center, our guests from the interior design trade can explore those showrooms and take full advantage of their trip to High Point,” she said.
HPDC is an alliance of high-end companies with showrooms mainly in the Hamilton-Wrenn district near downtown High Point.
Jeanne Glenn, HPDC executive director, said designers who visit both Showtime and HPDC’s member showrooms “can get everything they need and expect from a first-class design center.”
A list of the furniture showrooms will be available at the Showtime registration area in the Suites at Market Square.
Founded in 1990, ITMA is a non-profit trade association that produces Showtime, the largest textile market in the United States, in December and June.
