Hemisphere Design Gallery Brings the Outdoors Inside this June

Dallas, TX – Dallas Market Center, the world’s largest wholesale merchandise resource, announced Hemisphere Design Gallery will offer new products to bring the outdoors inside with unique lines during June Total Home & Gift Market (June 18 – 24). Incorporating outdoor elements into decorating schemes is hot for spring and Hemisphere Design Gallery will have the resources that buyers need to carry this style into their own stores or clients’ homes. Hemisphere Design Gallery is the shared showroom featured as part of the design floors on the World Trade Center 9th floor.

Hemisphere Design Gallery will showcase lines such as hand forged iron doors, contemporary and traditional indoor and outdoor lighting, fine art, and crystal accent decor. New to the showroom are Blue Moon Furniture, with its mesquite wood pieces inlaid with turquoise, coral or copper; Accent Antiques, a company that offers antique reproduction furniture and porcelain; and Just Crystal, offering art glass and crystal chandeliers. Hemisphere Design Gallery has numerous artisan companies that can custom make many of their pieces to cater to designers’ special projects and needs.

To celebrate its new lines, Hemisphere Design Gallery will host a Hacienda Cocktail Party on Friday, June 20 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. with a South of the Border fiesta including Spanish-style food, margaritas, and live music.

Dallas Market Center hosts multiple markets simultaneously in June so that buyers may select from the widest range of product categories: Total Home & Gift Market (June 18 – 24), Holiday & Home Expo (June 18 – 24), Holiday & Home Expo Temporaries (June 19 – 23), International Lighting Market (June 19 – 22), and the F!NDS Dallas Temp Show (June 20-23).
