Las Vegas, Nevada, USA: International, innovative and confident – the success of Interior Lifestyle attracted thousands of American and international buyers to Las Vegas. A high-end collection of 48 selected exhibitors provided an exclusive destination for buyers looking for new products in home textiles and home accents. Exhibitors were universally satisfied with the quality and quantity of attendees at the show. With 1,100 total exhibitors, the Las Vegas Winter Market continued to establish a new standard for the World’s finest products and resources in home décor.
New Buyers and New Opportunities
Retailers, designers, contract specifiers and other buyers from all over the United States crowded the aisles of the Mandalay Bay Convention Center for the second edition of Interior Lifestyle USA. This event has become the paramount destination for persons involved in the home décor and accessories industry, and as a part of the Las Vegas Market Week, established an exclusive opportunity for serious buyers and sellers of home textiles and home accents in January and July. Sheri Bublitz, from W by Design, indicated that she is always looking for new textiles, home accents and accessory lines. She found two new textile lines and other valuable resources during Interior Lifestyle. Sheri said that this event far exceeds other markets and that all of her vendors will eventually be in Las Vegas for the Market Week.
Positive Outlook
Dan Fine, Vice President of Peacock Alley, remarked that this show has far exceeded their expectations. Other high-end companies felt the same, including Catherine Stemmler, Sales Manager of SDH, who told us that they met quality buyers in new markets that they are not necessarily in – “we will definitely continue to do this show – it is a great new emerging Market.”
