It’s that time of year...Fall Market has arrived!
We love High Point Market for several reasons. As the largest home furnishings industry trade show in the world, it’s exciting to see the new products, trends, and showrooms—and, it’s right in our backyard.
Jami Morrison, Director of Client Solutions, noted, “The team always looks forward to seeing what's new and trendy. Each Market, we identify ways that Kreber can help our clients moving forward.”
“Our history of home furnishings photography started right here in High Point. We are so fortunate to have such a plethora of trends come right to our back door two times a year.” —Jynné Harris, Director of Client Solutions
Victor Vaughan, Kreber’s VP of Business Development, can’t wait to see the trends and innovations that the home furnishings industry unveils twice a year. And to help us gear up for the big event, we looked at what four brands have in store for Fall Market.

New Collections
CEO and co-founder John Jokinen previewed EJ Victor’s upcoming collections we can expect to see in the High Point Market showroom, including collaborations with designers Antonia, Bethan Gray Shamsian, and Ryan Korban.
We’re especially eager to see updates to the brand’s collab with Korban—who happens to be the youngest on the list of top 100 designers in America this year. As a millennial himself, Korban has helped EJ Victor focus on the desires of the emerging group of younger designers and clients.
Korban’s style has been described as a mix of “old-world romance and urban cool,” so we expect to see beautiful, yet functional living spaces on display in High Point.
EJ Victor has also partnered with J. Banks Design Group for a hospitality collection that focuses on “finding new ways to make spaces accessible, useful and unique.”
Showroom Features & Events
- Showroom right across from Market Square
- Meet the designers
- Complimentary lunches and afternoon refreshments
