High-End Home Furnishings Energize Winter Las Vegas Market
Remerchandising Brings New Brands to B2 & Shifts Home Furnishings Temporaries to B6
LAS VEGAS, NV – September 11, 2023 – Las Vegas Market extends its design-driven resources with the launch of a new high-end home furnishings floor – including expansions by Four Hands and Hooker Furnishings and debuts by Caracole and Varaluz among others – at the winter 2024 edition, January 28 – February 1, at World Market Center Las Vegas. With the new concentration of 11 better brands nearly filling B2 to capacity, the Market’s 100+ Home Furnishings Temporaries relocate to B6 beginning this winter.
“This infusion and concentration of high-end home furnishings extends the breadth and depth of product offerings and price points available at Las Vegas Market,” said Dorothy Belshaw, ANDMORE executive vice president, chief growth officer. “These brands make Las Vegas Market a more comprehensive sourcing destination for designers and retailers alike.”
Elegant Offerings Foster New Sourcing Opportunities
The second floor of Building B at World Market Center Las Vegas is a new at-market destination for high-end sourcing which complements Las Vegas Design Center’s year-round collection of the industry's finest product lines on the first two floors of Building A. The creation of a design-forward home furnishings floor, complete with unique curations for interior designers and retailers, brings five new-to-Las Vegas showrooms, as well as three relocated and expanded showroom updates, to the winter market in January 2024.
New-to-Las Vegas B2 showrooms include A.R.T. Furniture (minimalist interior furnishings and upholstery); Caracole (elevated Earth-toned home furniture); Jonathan Charles (high-end artisan interior furnishings); Rowe (eco-friendly and stain-resistant custom upholstery); and Varaluz (transitional handmade lighting, mirrors and home décor).
Two established LVMKT brands – Four Hands (contemporary home furnishings and handmade art) and Sunpan (tailored indoor/outdoor home furnishings and luxe home décor) – relocate and expand on B2. Additionally, Hooker Furnishings (upscale interior furnishings) opens a second location at Las Vegas Market, extending its family of brands -- Hooker Furniture, Hooker Upholstery, HF Custom, Bradington Young, M, Prime Resource International, Pulaski Furniture, Samuel Lawrence Furniture and Sunset West – across World Market Center Las Vegas’ Buildings A and B.
Temporary Exhibitors Relocate
As part of the B2 remerchandising, the Market’s 100+ temporary home furnishings exhibitors will relocate to B6 beginning in January 2024. Temporary exhibitors represent some 12 categories, including outdoor patio furniture, dining tables, sofas, rustic furniture, home décor and mattress/bedding.
The move gives home furnishings retailers a unique opportunity to source temporary exhibitors alongside permanent showrooms with compatible price points offerings. This synergistic floorplan provides a more comprehensive experience for buyers and suppliers.
“These changes provide a more efficient and effective market experience for our customers,” added Belshaw. “We will continue to iterate – whether through addition of new resources or with remerchandising of existing offerings – to improve Las Vegas Market for exhibitors and attendees.”
