Inside High Point Market: Highlights from DSA’s Fall 2024 Experience!
If you were at High Point Market this October, you know it was buzzing with creativity, connections, and the excitement of what’s next in interior design. As North America’s largest furniture trade show, High Point always brings together the best in the industry, and this season was no exception. Here’s a look back at our favorite moments—and maybe a little inspiration for next time!
One of our favorite talks was hosted by our DSA friend, Jenna Gaidusek, who led an engaging panel with Breegan Jane, Antonio DeLoatch, and Denise Wenacur on “Maximizing Potential: How AI Can Elevate Your Design Business.” Jenna and her panel unpacked how AI can streamline parts of the design process, from project management to marketing, freeing up more time for creativity. It was inspiring and a reminder of the exciting ways technology can help elevate your design business without taking away from your craft!
Another unforgettable session was hosted by Ericka Saurit, who dove into building a brand advantage. With panelist and new DSA friend Caren Rideau joining in, plus a book signing afterward of Caren Rideau: Kitchen Designer, Vintner, Entertaining at Home, it was inspiring from start to finish. We also enjoyed a fantastic talk at Caracole with MINE's Eoin Harrington — StudioMINE showcased an amazing demo and got designers excited for what's to come.
We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us for our cozy DSA coffee meet-up. We also enjoyed a memorable VIP DSA dinner and connected with wonderful friends, both new and familiar, throughout the event. We can’t wait to see even more of you next Market!
No High Point experience would be complete without showroom adventures, and we found some serious gems this season. Dovetail impressed us with their beautiful finishes, Hinkley Lighting brought fresh inspiration to illumination, and Currey & Co. dazzled with unique pieces perfect for bold design statements. Walking through these showrooms reminded us why High Point is truly the designer’s playground!
Haley Hinson, our Marketing & Operations Coordinator, summed it up perfectly: “Not only is High Point the place to see what’s trending and to hear insightful talks from industry pros, but it’s also the place to meet new friends and catch up with peers!”
Just when we thought we couldn't squeeze in more joy and laughter...
On Monday, October 28, Currey & Company hosted a spectacular social gathering honoring the Interior Design Community with Laurie Laisure and Nile Johnson. The event was a smash hit! We smiled, hugged, and shed a few happy tears. We are so thankful we had attended.
What a way to top off our visit to the High Point Market. Thank you, Currey &Comany and IDC Interior Design Community.
We’re already counting down the days until the next Market, and we’re excited to reconnect with all our DSA friends and explore the latest innovations in design together. See you next time!
