From the Market - Fall High Point Furniture Market
Our Industrial Wood Color Material and Finish expert, Melissa Eurillo, recently attended the Fall High Point Furniture Market and reported back on the top themes she saw.
NOTES FROM MARKET
Despite ongoing social and economic uncertainty, manufacturers at High Point Market continue to show remarkable resilience and creativity, unveiling collections that are both inspiring and emotionally resonant.
This season, the trends reflect a deeper cultural shift: consumers are seeking authentic materials, restorative environments, and immersive experiences that go beyond aesthetics. Furniture is no longer just functional — it’s emotional, tactile, and story-driven. We’re seeing a return to natural textures, grounded palettes, and sculptural forms that invite touch and evoke calm. From earthy woods and moody stains to soft brutalist silhouettes and soulful color stories, the design language is evolving to meet the moment.
As color and trend experts, we make it a priority to visit as many showrooms as possible, but with Market’s vast scale and ever-growing footprint, it’s impossible to see it all. What you’ll find in this report is a curated selection based purely on design merit — free from brand bias or commercial influence.
High Point Market continues to be a bellwether for what’s next in design — and this season, it’s clear that beauty, comfort, and meaning are leading the way. Let’s dive into the trends that are shaping the future of furniture.
