L
as Vegas Market brings out its star power July 31-Aug. 4, and
attendees can bask in the glow. For starters, there’s an impressive
lineup of seminars — flip to the back cover of this publication for a
sampling. First-time exhibitors are plentiful this season. And expect a stellar
showing of new products throughout the Las Vegas Market campus. With so
many new products, how does one manage?
At the intersection of so-much-to-shop and too-little-time enters FIRST LOOK.
Every brand that exhibits at Las Vegas Market is invited to submit their new
products for review, and we winnow down more than 1,000 submissions to a
curated presentation of compelling visuals, and timely and useful themes.
URBIA • B350
Wllcox table. Find more fantastic wood
finishes on page 16.
Hand in Hand • C1012
Sustainable Suds bar soap in
Noble Fir. Find more holiday
decor and gifts on the Inside
Back Cover.
This storytelling is, perhaps, at its finest in our FIRST LOOK product
displays. This season, we nod to Las Vegas Market’s rapid growth in the
causal and outdoor furnishings segment with “New Heights.” Attendees
venture into a forest understory in the texture-rich “Forest Splendor.”
After seasons of tone-on-tone neutrals and shades-of-gray interiors,
“In Black & White” offers a welcome contrast, literally. Lastly, “How
Novelties,” ushers in a welcome sentiment that’s been missing in the
marketplace for some time … whimsy and cheer. Happy shopping!
Be sure to follow FIRST LOOK during market on Pinterest.
