Tiffany White
Half-Day Tour
This tour is rooted in a refined, layered luxury aesthetic—spotlighting showrooms that balance sculptural form, rich materiality, and livable elegance. Hooker, Leftbank Art, and a curated mix of my go‑to vendors will anchor the experience, giving you a behind‑the‑scenes look at how I source across furniture, upholstery, art, and accessories. Participants will learn how to navigate Market strategically, read collections through a designer’s lens, and translate showroom inspiration into cohesive, client-ready concepts and specifications.
Karen Wolf
Half-Day Tour
A beautifully designed room is never just the furniture, it's the lighting that sets the mood, the textiles that add warmth and depth, and the accessories that make it feel collected and complete. On this tour, I'm opening up my Rolodex of go-to resources for the finishing layers: the lighting, textile, and accessory lines I return to again and again to bring a room to life. We'll walk the showrooms I actually source from, talk through how I layer each element, and you'll leave with a short list of trusted resources.
Jeanne Chung
Full-Day Tour
Jeanne’s tour introduces designers to exceptional manufacturers and artisans whose products are not readily accessible to the consumer. These carefully selected brands are known for their craftsmanship, customization capabilities, and rich heritage—qualities that resonate with today's luxury clientele. More than a showroom tour, it's an insider's guide to navigating Market strategically, building lasting vendor relationships, and uncovering the resources that set successful designers apart. Attendees leave with a curated list of trusted manufacturers, practical Market strategies, and the confidence to make every future High Point visit more productive.
Kelly Finley
Full-Day Tour
This tour is for designers who don’t want another safe, beige walk-through. We’ll stop at Made Goods, Currey & Company, and Julian Chichester—showrooms known for their fearless use of materials, sculptural forms, and statement pieces. My own design aesthetic is bold, colorful, and highly personal, and I’ll show you how I shop Market with that lens: spotting the gems, skipping the filler, and asking the right questions. Expect candid insights on sourcing, scaling up your vendor list, and how to shop Market with both style and strategy.
