Las Vegas Market will showcase a wealth of new resources among the hundreds of exhibitors to debut in The Pavilions at Summer Las Vegas Market – the newly restructured and re-imagined temporary exhibits premiering Aug. 2-5, 2015. In addition to products featured in The Pavilions’ four broad categories – Gift, Home, Design and Handmade – are exciting new concentrations of high-end social stationery, children’s products and design-driven resources. Another new launch within The Pavilions is Discoveries – The Antique Vintage Marketplace, showcasing an exclusive mix of antiques, one-of-a-kind furnishings, vintage resources and found objects.
“With the launch of The Pavilions, Las Vegas Market is elevating the quality and presentation of its gift and home temporary exhibits at a level commensurate with dynamic and dramatic changes to its showroom offerings,” said Dorothy Belshaw, president of Gift & Home Décor, International Market Centers. “Las Vegas Market is committed to showcasing standard-setting and trend-leading resources in its permanent showrooms and its newly re-imagined temporary exhibition space. The combination of the two makes Las Vegas Market not just the leading buying platform for furniture, home décor and gifts in the western United States, but also a unique ‘must-visit’ destination for buyers who want to set their stores apart from the competition.”
Approximately 35 percent of exhibitors in The Pavilions will be first-time exhibitors at Las Vegas Market, bringing an influx of established industry suppliers as well as innovative newcomers. New concentrations of previously under-represented lifestyle merchandise categories include upscale paper goods (Bottman Design, Cardthartic, Heart the Moment, Notably Chic Designs, PaperSalt and Potluck Press); and better children’s merchandise (Baby Laundry, Chewbeads, Eco Kids, EDC Publishing, Magical Tales Family Traditions, Me-In-Mind, Melissa & Doug and The Blueberry Hill).
The size – approximately 80,000 square feet – and convenient location of The Pavilions is intended to allow continued growth and enhancements of temporary presentations at Las Vegas Market.
