This Fall High Point Market was an exciting experience for Howard Elliott, and we were thrilled to connect with so many of you! With over 150 new product introductions across all of our categories, our showroom was buzzing with fresh designs, creative ideas, and endless inspiration. It was rewarding to see the excitement from our visitors as they explored our latest collections and shared their feedback.
One of the highlights of the market was our “Trends, Fads, and Timeless Designs” panel discussion, which brought together some of the industry’s most influential voices:
Patti Carpenter, Global Trend Ambassador and Principal of carpenter + company, shared her extensive experience in globally sourced home décor, color, and trend research. Her insights into global design trends sparked a fascinating conversation.
Gary Inman, a renowned designer and brand ambassador with a focus on luxury hospitality design, offered his expertise from working with prestigious historic properties and luxury hotels across the country.
Christopher Grubb, President of Arch-Interiors, discussed his approach to integrating trends and fads into high-end residential and commercial design, a perspective shaped by his experience as a recognized style maker in the industry.
Jody Ossman, Director of Designs and Development at Howard Elliott, added his unique take on blending vintage and modern elements, showcasing how the past can influence timeless design in innovative ways.
The discussion was moderated by Allison Zisko, Editor-in-Chief of Home Accents Today, who has over 20 years of experience reporting on the home furnishings industry. Together, the panelists explored the evolving landscape of design, offering valuable insights into how trends are shaped, how they endure, and how they can be effectively incorporated into today’s home furnishings.
A standout highlight of the event was our “Lucky Leaves” drawing, where customers had the chance to pull from our Lucky Leaves and win exciting prizes! From free accessories to special discounts, each pull added an element of fun and surprise to the showroom, and we loved seeing the smiles and excitement from our participants.
Overall, this High Point Market was refreshing, rejuvenating, and inspiring. We are grateful for everyone who stopped by to explore our collections and catch up with the Howard Elliott team. If you couldn’t make it, you can still see all our latest introductions on our website. Thank you for making this Fall High Point Market a fantastic one—we can’t wait to see you all again soon!
