International Home Furnishings Lines Choose AmericasMart Atlanta

For designers and retailers everywhere, the preferred destination for all things home this summer is AmericasMart® Atlanta and The Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market® (Showrooms: Tuesday, July 8 – Tuesday, July 15, 2014; Temporaries: Thursday, July 10 – Monday, July 14, 2014) and The Atlanta International Area Rug Market® (Wednesday, July 9 – Saturday, July 12, 2014).

AmericasMart’s large and growing HOME collection welcomes the global design community with a comprehensive showcase of international case goods and upholstery, accessories, casual furnishings, lighting and area rug lines across hundreds of showrooms and in select Temporary categories. Between new and newly expanded showrooms and the celebrated HD Home, HIGH DESIGN® and High Design® LUXE juried temporaries collections, July Market buyers will enjoy one-stop access to lines and designs both from the most celebrated names in the home furnishings industry and fresh new resources, some making their U.S. marketplace debut.

“This is where domestic and international manufacturers break into the North American market,” says David Savula, executive vice president of Leasing for AmericasMart Buildings 1, 2 and 3. “Buyers and designers know that when they shop AmericasMart, they’re accessing the most comprehensive product mix available under a single roof,” Savula adds.

The Markets’ cross-category internationalism is highlighted by new and expanded showrooms including Rococo Home & Design, Phillips Scott, Stilnovo, LLC and more. Complementing the international collections is South Africa’s Lifestyle Hub, a multiline showroom sponsored by the Department of Trade and Industry of the Republic of South Africa that introduces American buyers to its designers and artisans.

Domestic companies also are showcasing their international influence. Europe2You of Roswell, Ga. becomes the sole North American product source for celebrated Italian manufacturer and retailer Dialma Brown in an exclusive partnership set for introduction at the Market.
