Trendsetting casual furniture, garden gifts and coastal living lines and designs presented in hundreds of showrooms and booths help make AmericasMart® Atlanta the marketplace of necessity for buyers and designers. The Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Market® is in January with showrooms January 10-17 and temporaries January 12-15.
The market epicenter for AmericasMart’s large and growing casual product mix is The Gardens®, AmericasMart’s uniquely merchandised neighborhood of casual furniture, home décor items and garden gifts, which in January 2017 expands with Eangee, Cooper Metal Smiths and Vivere joining the collection. These new lines join expansions from Lotus International, West of the Wind and Lloyd Flanders. Other highlights of the marketplace include the relaunch of Unique Stone’s Biltmore Garden Collection, inspired by the famed Biltmore Estate in Asheville, N.C.
AmericasMart’s permanent garden offering is complemented by a comprehensive temporary product destination featuring four unique collections: Gardens LUXE, The Gardens, Birding and Backyard Nature and Coastal Lifestyles.
“January is prime time for buyers to explore The Gardens and its corresponding temporary collections,” explained Jill Ford, vice president of Leasing for the collection. “From design-driven casual furniture for enjoying outdoor rooms to new tools for spring gardening to gift items that celebrate the best of summer, The Gardens is a one-stop shop for the unique items retailers and designers need to help their customers make the most out of the spring and summer months.”
Designers who are interested in exploring casual furniture and outdoor rooms will learn from two acclaimed designers – iconic Barclay Butera and popular HGTV personality Genevieve Gorder – along with Eugenia Santiesteban Soto, senior style editor for “Better Homes and Gardens,” who will share their approach to creating thoughtful exterior design and discuss new trends on the horizon in “Outdoor Insight: Rethinking Exterior Spaces and Creating High-Style Outdoor Environments” sponsored by Luminara on Friday, January 13.
