High Point Market is a large furniture trade show that introduces the latest home furnishing trends in furniture, lighting, and accessories. The show takes place twice a year in April and October. The market brings in 75,000 interior designers, architects, and buyers and 2,000 exhibitors are spread out throughout downtown High Point, NC.
This was not my first time to the market but it had been a few years thanks to COVID. The event is only open to trade, but I am able to attend with a press pass. I brought my friend Amy (who is a fantastic graphic designer) to help with photography. A big thank you to her for taking some of these photos!
