High Point Market Highlights
We have so much to be grateful for after coming home from High Point Market, where we introduced our new 42 piece indoor/outdoor *Provenance Signature Collection by Laura Muller* to our distribution partners in attendance.
High Point Market, for those of you reading this who may not be familiar with it, is North America’s largest wholesale tradeshow for home furnishings. It takes place twice a year in High Point, North Carolina. Our distribution partners from around the world attend it to see what’s new that they can purchase for their clients and customers.
As you may be aware, we did not exhibit at #HPMKT in 2020, but instead partnered with 15 of our fellow manufacturers and 11 nationally known interior designers on our magazine’s luxury virtual designer showhouse, which is still available to tour, 24/7 at no charge, by clicking on the link at the end of this post.
Being able to exhibit, once again, was wonderful for us – the excitement was palpable – and we are so appreciative of the enthusiastic and positive recognition our new collection received, as well as for the orders placed.
And speaking of recognition…. we were thrilled on the first day to receive a *StyleSpot* by official #HPMKT Stylespotter, NYC based interior designer, Justin Shaulis, a coveted honor for any exhibitor showing at #HPMKT.
Justin spotted our MEDITATION rectangular table in FRP, part of our new *Provenance Signature Collection*, designed for us by internationally acclaimed award winning interior designer, Laura Muller, President of Los Angeles based, Four Point Design Build.
Justin, thank you. See all 21 of the beautiful products Justin chose for this honor on the link at the bottom of this blog post.
We know that many of you reading this will now immediately want to get an idea of the flavor of the entire collection, and we’ve created a digital brochure for you, which you can access now by clicking on this link: https://bit.ly/ViewProvenanceBrochure.

To gain a greater understanding of Laura’s inspiration for the design of our *Provenance Signature Collection, we invite you to take a few minutes to watch this video of Laura speaking about it.
Laura Muller, the designer of *Provenance Signature Collection* was with us all day Friday and Saturday at High Point Market to greet our showroom visitors.
We thank each of you who came to visit us and shared your images and pictures with us. We appreciate each of you.

They enjoyed meeting each other in person and connecting.
No market is ever complete without a visit from the editor in chief of Designers Today magazine, Jane Dagmi, whom we have known for a very long time.
Jane, thank you for visiting us and being the first to write about our new *Provenance Signature Collection by Laura Muller* in your “Who’s Doing What With Whom” column that appeared before High Point Market started.

We were also visited by so many more of you, and we couldn’t be more thankful. One of our visitors, not pictured, who was also a participant in our Luxury Virtual Showhouse, was interior designer Jeanne C. Chung. She wrote a wonderful #HPMKT Trends Wrap Up post with her favorite finds, which included a piece from our *Provenance Signature Collection by Laura Muller* in it.
You can read that post at the end of this post. Don’t miss it!
It’s impossible to show in one blog post all of the beautiful pieces from this 42 piece indoor/outdoor collection, but once again, we invite you to visit the *Provenance Signature Collection by Laura Muller* page to see more on our website by clicking on this link:

Below are a few close up images, however, of the occasional and cocktail tables that were early crowd favorites of the visitors to our High Point Market showroom.
Our MEDITATION Community Blocks are made of FRP [ fiber reinforced polymer ] and are suitable for both residential and commercial use, indoors or outdoors.
Everyone loved their ability to be moved into many different configurations to suit space and flexibility requirements.
And speaking of moving….we moved the MEDITATION Community Blocks around a lot at #HPMKT to demonstrate their flexibility to our visitors on the beautiful high performance resilient flooring provided to us by Revel Woods.
Revel Woods was one of the sponsors of our magazine’s Luxury Virtual Designer Showhouse and it was our pleasure to be able to showcase their new CAYE Collection at #HPMKT, in person.
Despite the hundreds of times we moved these tables on top of the flooring, there wasn’t a scratch. We could not recommend Revel Woods highly enough to you, if you’re an interior designer/hospitality designer reading this.
Revel Woods also has an excellent program that empowers designers to add flooring as a revenue stream to their businesses and if you’re an interior designer reading this, we encourage you to sign up for a PRO account on this link: https://www.revelwoods.com/apply.
Next, our Tranquility 42″ round coffee table was a crowd favorite with its gentle undulating sides and textural combination, evoking the peaceful memories Laura has of waves lapping at the beach while she built sandcastles with her father as a young girl.
Special molds were developed for the FRP part of our *Provenance Signature Collection by Laura Muller* so we could capture the tactility of Laura’s designs perfectly. You can use every piece in the FRP material and outdoor wicker material anywhere, in any climate. Suitable for both residential and hospitality specification, know you have purchased the finest in indoor/outdoor furniture.
For those of you who missed our introductory post to this collection, where we discussed the 3 materials used in this collection in more detail [ handcrafted ceramics, FRP and outdoor wicker ] please click this link if you’d like to read it now:

Below, see examples of all 3 materials used in our *Provenance Signature Collection by Laura Muller* – outdoor wicker for our LEEWARD chair, FRP for our MEDITATION COMMUNITY block occasional tables and handcrafted ceramics for the SERENITY textured planters [sold as a set, one large, one small ] shown in the lower left.
During High Point Market, we also had additional editors coming to visit us. We could not be more appreciative of the articles they wrote for their respective trade publications during High Point Market.
