Let’s face it—High Point is huge, and you’re going to spend a lot of time on your feet as you seek out the latest and greatest. Even the most seasoned Market veterans need a bit of help making sure not to leave any stone unturned. That’s why we’re mapping High Point’s bustling neighborhoods and the go-to resources located in each. Here, we’re spotlighting the brands featured in our Designer’s Guide to High Point Market—plus a few more key destinations and debuts so you don’t waste a single step.

The International Home Furnishings Center (IHFC) looms large when you arrive at Market, and is home to more than 450 exhibitors throughout 11 stories of showrooms. In its 90,000-square-foot space on the 10th floor of the Commerce wing, Hooker Furniture (C1058) will introduce a 250-piece line with Property Brothers duo Drew and Jonathan Scott, a collection of luxury upholstery called Aspire, and pieces like the resin Carved Stump side table. The brand is also hosting its first-ever pop-up on the first floor of the building (IH301).

Meanwhile, the 140,000-square-foot Markor Art Center, which opened in 2019, showcases the collections of two Markor brands: Caracole, which is debuting a line that includes the shapely Seville swivel chair, and A.R.T. Furniture, where we’re crushing on the reeded detailing of the Somerton Bachelors chest. Stop by Universal Furniture to preview the brand’s line of customizable upholstery, including the elegantly double-tufted Charlotte settee in performance velvet.
