Mill Collective is an exhibition of design and craft located inside Plant Seven, a new center for culture and innovation in Downtown High Point.

The curated multi-exhibitor show proudly presents objects created with conscious intent, by a group of more than 25 vendors—furniture and textile designers, specialized manufacturers and makers, artists and curators presenting innovative or artisan work—from around the corner and around the globe.

Founded in Spring 2017 to foster new talent at High Point Market, Mill Collective has evolved within what is now a large-scale redevelopment project called Plant Seven.

A multiphase project, Plant Seven will soft launch to Fall Market attendees with the opening of a year-round Material ConneXion library, a special exhibit called "This is Not a Chair," a coworking space designed by leading hospitality suppliers and photo studios.
