High Point Market, also known as the “World
Furniture Market,” is a ten day event that
showcases the latest and greatest from top
furniture manufacturers across North
America. As a designer, High Point always
brings plenty of inspiration for upcoming
projects and offers the perfect opportunity to
scout out new products for Grafus Studio as
well!
This year has been all about luxurious
textures and finishes, improved performance
and functionality and of course, bold color!
Marble and stone finishes, both real and
imitation, add a luxurious look to everything
from backsplashes to dinnerware. Gold
continues to be the finish of choice for
glamorous, sophisticated spaces and this
year, we’re seeing a lot of combined gold
finishes, mixing a variety of gold shades from
rose gold to soft golds for a more dynamic
look. Luxurious fabrics like velvet are also
a popular choice, adding a classic touch to
upholstery and accessories with high
performance fabric options expanding to allow
more options even for the toughest situations.
Other hot trends at this year’s High Point
Market included the use of the color green in
various shades and the use of bench seating
rather than chairs.
