ABOUT THE FAIR
The High Point Market is the world's largest trade fair for residential furniture and interior design. It is considered a key industry event for professional buyers, interior designers, and decorators. Twice a year—each April and October—the city of High Point in North Carolina transforms into a vibrant hub of the global furniture industry. Known as the "Furniture Capital of the World", the city boasts a long-standing tradition in furniture manufacturing and design. With its uniquely high concentration of showrooms, permanent exhibition spaces, and locally based manufacturers, High Point provides the perfect setting for a trade fair of this scale.
The event is organized by the High Point Market Authority, which aims to bring together leading brands and innovative newcomers from across the industry. Open exclusively to trade visitors, the High Point Market offers a professional environment for focused business transactions, high-quality networking, and the formation of forward-thinking partnerships.
Spread across more than 180 buildings and showrooms throughout the city, exhibitors from around the globe present their latest collections. The product range on display is extensive, spanning residential and office furniture, lighting, rugs, outdoor furnishings, home textiles, decorative items, accessories, interior design consulting, and comprehensive services related to space planning and interior architecture.
A distinctive feature of the market is the presence of the “Style Spotters”—a curated team of respected design experts who identify current trends, spotlight pioneering products, and help visitors navigate the vast and diverse selection. The market is further enriched by a comprehensive program of lectures, seminars, and networking events, offering exclusive insights into market dynamics, design developments, and business strategies.
Thanks to its historical setting, global relevance, and rich content, the High Point Market is much more than a trade show. It serves as an international meeting point for the interior design industry, a trendsetting platform for design innovation, and a memorable experience for all professionals working in furniture and spatial design.
The High Point Market will take place on 5 days from Saturday, 17. October to Wednesday, 21. October 2026 in High Point.
