Design events are once again in full swing and one of the keynotes of the season is High Point Market, the largest to-the-trade design fair in North America. Kicking off on April 2 in High Point, North Carolina, the sprawling event (with total square footage tallying into the multi-millions) offers an invaluable chance to scope out brand-new products. From designer Cheryl Luckett’s historical interpretations for Wildwood to Jay Jeffers’ lighting experiments with antique brass and etched glass for Arteriors to feel-good, California-inspired furniture designed by Jenni Kayne Home, here are nine collections that AD editors are eager to see IRL at High Point Market this spring.
Kyoto Alu collection by Janus et Cie
An outdoor-appropriate revamp of Janus et Cie’s mango rattan indoor Kyoto collection, Kyoto Alu buoys al fresco get-togethers with elevated yet relaxed furnishings. Playfully sculpted aluminum rods (powder-coated in black or white variations) bring personality to the set, which will have its commodious three-seat sofa, voluptuous lounge chair, and spherical side table on view at High Point Market. (IHFC, Floor 1, M130)
Jenni Kayne Home collection
Like the minimalist apparel for which Jenni Kayne is known, the California lifestyle brand’s interiors division conjures a sense of calm and breezy living by way of furniture and home decor. All of these styles will come together for Jenni Kayne Home’s first-ever exhibition at High Point Market’s Salon section. Look out for sofas draped in charcoal linen, plump vintage-inspired chairs swathed in ivory wool bouclé upholstery, and circular coffee tables fashioned out of knotty alder wood that call to mind Paris in the 1960s. (Suites at Market Square, Salon Suite G700)
Erinn V. for Universal Furniture
Striking textures—ranging from cozy, nubby upholsteries to compelling treated surfaces—are a hallmark of L.A. interior designer and real estate developer Erinn Valencich’s new lineup for Universal Furniture. Valencich, who runs Erinn V. Design Group, has hatched the bulbous Carmel round dining table, and its sculptural walnut base props up a white lacquer top. There’s also the cerused oak San Roque console table that is reminiscent of the dusty desert with its doors cloaked in Universal’s new and completely engrossing plaster-like Shattered Earth finish. (101 S. Hamilton St.)
Cheryl Luckett for Wildwood
Charlotte, North Carolina–based designer Cheryl Luckett often turns to Wildwood (headquartered just over three hours away in Rocky Mount, North Carolina) to source pieces for her projects. Now, Luckett has teamed up with the century-old design brand to create her own range of stylish furniture, lighting, and accessories that melds her flair for fashion with a reverence for her Black and Southern roots. The collection includes lamps with botanical-print bases, brass tassel–adorned console tables, and sweetly scallop-trimmed brass boxes. Incorporating motifs like Kuba cloth, pen shell, and animal print, the collection is as warm and vivid as the interiors Luckett crafts. (200 N. Hamilton St.)
Jay Jeffers for Arteriors
In tandem with its 35th anniversary, lighting, furniture, wall decor, and accessories brand Arteriors is unveiling its third collaboration with San Francisco designer Jay Jeffers, who is also behind the dreamy, about-to-open Healdsburg, California, hotel and restaurant The Madrona. Drawing from the oeuvres of such 20th-century talents as Carlo Scarpa, Franco Albini, and Jean-Michel Frank, the collection includes standouts such as the ebony-stained Cantu cabinet, the hand-formed brass Trento mirror, and the perforated Tapio light series. (Commerce & Design Building, Floor 1)
Maggie Cruz Home collection
For her eponymous furniture collection, Miami-based and Cuban American interior designer Maggie Cruz takes cues from the tropics. Natural material cane defines her glam handiworks, including the cocooning Costero Barrel chair, the Art Deco Habanera desk flaunting a curved frame and pencil drawer, and the Alexandra bench evocative of retro Hollywood hotels with its chic cutouts and bolster pillows. (Design Legacy Building, Floor 1)
Mitzi Tastemakers collection by Mitzi
Mitzi, Hudson Valley Lighting’s contemporary brand, is rolling out Mitzi Tastemakers. These collections will spotlight one-of-a-kind artful creations from the likes of interior designers Megan Molten and Tali Roth, as well as artist Eny Lee Parker. The inaugural Mitzi Tastemakers debut is a 12-piece, boho-modern assemblage spanning chandeliers, sconces, and table and floor lamps by Dabito, founder of the design and branding studio Old Brand New. (Market Square, Mezzanine, M70)
Catalina collection by Theodore Alexander
The human desire to embrace nature is manifested in upscale furniture brand Theodore Alexander’s Catalina collection that boasts more than 50 new pieces. Whether it’s a wood grain pattern highlighted in an imposing bed frame or chest of drawers, or the porous stone surfaces gracing a bench or carousel-like coffee table, Catalina summons a nostalgia for beautiful landscapes. (229 W. Russell Ave.)
Josh Greene for Dowel Furniture
New York interior designer Josh Greene launched his debut collection for Dowel Furniture back in 2020, but spring’s High Point Market is where industry folks will be able to swoon over it in person for the very first time. Marked by strong geometry, the series’ 23 designs run the gamut from the six-legged, oak-and-cane Tamarisk bar stool to the linen-wrapped La Jolla lounge chair to an array of arresting pedestals that simultaneously echo Charlotte Perriand’s streamlined functionality and Karl Springer’s dramatic lines.
