Upwards of 10,000 designers and manufacturers head to High Point each season, eager to talk design—and ink deals. This fall, a number of notable introductions are on the docket from Mark D. Sikes (California), Michael Berman (New York), Jan Showers (Dallas) and Michelle Workman (Chattanooga)

Sikes’s 65-piece collection with Henredon is debuting with armless sofas, occasional chairs, canopy beds and upholstery “Things I want to use in every house I decorate,” Sikes said. “They would’ve looked good 30 years ago, but they’re also essentials that people will use forever. Curated, electric and refined—every single piece is casual and comfortable.”
