Fall 2021 High Point Market was such an exciting time for all of us here at Seasonal Living. It was a great feeling to see so many people returning again.
We were busy almost the entire time meeting with new and existing customers, the halls were bustling with activity, events were back on tap [ see more about our own with Ethos Design Collective’s members, below ] and the overall feeling was one of optimism and happiness.
For us the most positive business aspect of our time at High Point Market was selling out our entire first shipment of our indoor/outdoor Provenance Signature Collection. It was designed for us by internationally renowned interior designer/builder Laura Muller of Four Point Design Build – shown above with Seasonal Living CEO, Gary Pettitt.
The Provenance Signature Collection was first introduced via sneak peeks during our magazine’s Virtual Designer Showhouse experience last December.
It was the first virtual showhouse of its kind to included augmented reality, and was rendered for us by Jenna Gaidusek’s eDesignTribe team, consisting of Sarah Durnez and Annilee Waterman with assistance by Lauren Jenkins Brantley.
Two 3D rendered images from Laura’s design of the outdoor living area in the Virtual Showhouse are shown below.
Our Provenance Signature Collection was then exhibited for the first time in person at last June’s High Point Market, where the large indoor/outdoor MEDITATION dining table was Stylespotted by one of 2021’s official High Point Market Stylespotters, Justin Shaulis.
If you weren’t able to attend June or October High Point Market, this video of our High Point Market showroom will help you experience, see and understand the materials used in our Provenance Signature Collection.
During this Fall’s High Point Market, it was our INGOT fire table, artisan crafted out of hand hammered copper, that got Stylespotted by Breegan Jane.
Breegan: if you are seeing this post > thank you! It was wonderful to meet you in person and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Another exciting moment came for us at this Fall’s High Point Market came when we hosted Ethos Design Collective’s MIX and MINGLE launch celebration event on Sunday afternoon.
Ethos Design Collective is the world’s first search engine where consumers can go to find VETTED luxury interior designers to hire. Find the link to their site at the end of this post.
We were one of 5 High Point market exhibitors to host one of their launch celebration events, and we were happy to have their members in our showroom and to support the luxury interior design community in this way.

As mentioned above, another Ethos Design Collective launch celebration programming event was hosted by Jaipur Living, who was also a sponsor of our magazine’s Virtual Designer Showhouse.
Jaipur Living hosted and filmed a round table conversation in their High Point Market showroom, moderated by Showhouse co-principal, Leslie Carothers. Guests included our CEO, Gary Pettitt, and participating Showhouse designers and Ethos Design Collective members, Arianne Bellizaire, Robin Baron and Laura Muller.
