LAS VEGAS — More than 200 exhibitors will present design-inspired products in three juried showcases at the Las Vegas Market, July 28-Aug. 1, according to market organizers.
Design & Living, ConText and Living Green Pavilion spaces will be on the fifth floor of the World Market Center’s new Building C, which will make its debut at the summer show.
Market officials said the juried shows will have a strong international flavor.

Design & Living will convey a hip feel in 40,000 square feet of exhibit space. More than 100 companies, including Haute House, Style de Vie, Emmanuel Design Group, Redford House and John Strauss Furniture Design will show furniture, décor and lighting in styles ranging from traditional to contemporary.

ConText, which debuted at the winter Las Vegas Market, will showcase home textiles and bedding in a 13,000-square-foot space. Notable exhibitors will include Bella Notte, Luiz Fine Linens, Karma Living, Shamiana and Down Inc.

Living Green Pavilion will return for its third Vegas market featuring sustainable furnishings or furniture using materials that can be renewed through natural processes. Among the exhibitors in its 12,000-plus square feet will be Harden Furniture and The Natural Bedroom by Vivetique.
An Italian-inspired espresso bar and buyers lounge also will be on the same floor.
“We’re thrilled to be moving these highly acclaimed showcases from their previous temporary exhibit locations to the Las Vegas Design Center in conjunction with the opening of Building C,” said Tim Branscome, vice president of international business development at the World Market Center. “There’s no question their prime location in our new state-of-the-art space will draw enormous buyer traffic and add to the excitement of celebrating our first market entirely on the World Market Center campus.”
