A signature ticking-striped entry tent will lead visitors into the Moroccan Courtyard behind the 313
building and large-scale tent filled with one-of-a-kind finds from a curated roster of antiques dealers,
independent artisans, boutique home retailers and design-led brands.

Founded by communications and business development expert Christina Juarez and interiors
editor and author Benjamin Reynaert, the ticking tent® is the original brocante-style design
market, bringing together established dealers beloved by designers and collectors alongside a new
generation of makers and tastemakers.

The idea began over lunch at Pastis in New York, with a conversation about something Juarez and
Reynaert both loved: the hunt. In an increasingly digital world, they saw an opportunity to bring back
the thrill of finding something unexpected—a rare antique, a conversation with a maker or an object
with a story that no algorithm could serve up.

“Our shoppers come because they trust our eye,” says Reynaert. “They know they’ll discover
something unexpected, a rare textile, hand-painted ceramic, future heirloom or simply the finishing
touch for a room. They’re looking for interiors that feel collected rather than consumed.”
That appetite for experiential shopping has translated into nearly $1 million in sales in a single
day, with close to 2,000 shoppers traveling from across the U.S. and increasingly from the UK and
Europe each market. Designers source for clients, retailers discover new artisans and brands form
relationships that extend well beyond the weekend.

Beyond shopping, the ticking tent® has developed its own signature experiences. The High Point
edition will include a Friday evening wood-fired pizza, Via Carota Craft Cocktails & Shopping
preview, a Saturday Early Bird Breakfast, the Benjamin Moore Espresso Edit coffee
cart, Doyle Auction House Candy Bar, and the second edition of the ticking tent times print
newspaper and newsstand.

The market’s signature ticking fabric, created exclusively by UK textile brand Colours of Arley, will
once again dress vendor tables and the market’s recognizable welcome tent.

“At its heart, the ticking tent reflects a larger shift in how people want to shop,” says Juarez. “After
years of endless online choice, luxury is once again about curation, connection and discovery. It’s
shopping as it used to be—and perhaps as it should be again.”
