Furniture World News Desk on 10/19/2018


IMC recently announced that registration for 2019 Winter Las Vegas Market is open at www.lasvegasmarket.com/register. Las Vegas Market, which runs Jan. 27 – Jan. 31, 2019, offers more than 4,000 cross-category furniture, home décor and gift resources across three buildings and two pavilions.

“Las Vegas Market offers buyers, designers and exhibitors an easy-to-navigate destination to launch new lines and discover the latest trends,” said Robert Maricich, chief executive officer for International Market Centers. “Las Vegas Market is the nation’s fastest growing gift and home décor market and the leading furniture market in the western U.S.”

Winter Market offers Market-goers a variety of special events and industry networking opportunities, including the 14th annual Las Vegas Market Design Icon Award. The Las Vegas Market Design Icon Award honors an interior designer or architect who has made a significant contribution to the industry throughout their career. The award highlights the achievements of exemplary design and architectural professionals and offers Las Vegas Market attendees an opportunity to connect with and learn firsthand from living legends.

For the first time this January, Las Vegas Market is partnering with Kite Trade Association International (KTAI) to bring 20 makers and designers of wind-related products to Pavilion 1, adding a new dimension to the Market’s gift and home temporary exhibits. KTAI is a non-profit organization based in Oregon that exists to support and promote the manufacturing, distribution and retailing of kites and wind-related products. The co-location, which is KTAI’s first collaboration with a major market, will add to the 200+ toy resources available in three buildings and two pavilions at Las Vegas Market.

Additional Market-exclusive events include the 2019 Housewares Design Awards, which recognize design excellence in 11 core housewares categories, one SMART home category and a new Gourmet Specialty Foods category. During the industry event, the third annual Design Influencer Award will also be presented.

Winter Market highlights also include key product introductions in gift, home décor and furniture resources in both permanent showrooms and temporary exhibits. Introductions within the gift category include international, seasonal/garden, pet products and fashion accessories. Within furniture, there will be a focus on case goods, upholstery, casual/outdoor, mattress and bedding and hospitality. In home décor, new resources are expected in lighting, rugs, accents, wall décor and home textiles. Additionally, Winter 2019 will showcase all of the major producers and brands in mattress and bedding.

Temporary exhibits at Las Vegas will showcase 500+ new and returning gift and home décor exhibitors in six categories at The Pavilions at Las Vegas Market. Pavilion 1 features GIFT, DESIGN LIFESTYLE and HANDMADE; and Pavilion 2 presents HOME, DESIGN HOME and DISCOVERIES: The Antique Vintage Marketplace.

Beyond products, Las Vegas Market offers proprietary trend program FIRST LOOK. The FIRST LOOK trend presentation features a curated showcase of products that reflect the diversity of styles, prices points and categories available at Market.

Las Vegas Market’s digital platform offers buyers, designers and market attendees a way to make Market preparation easier and more efficient.
