The ITA Showtime Market is in storied High Point, North Carolina – the center of American furniture manufacturing. Created and organized by the International Textile Alliance (ITA), it’s where furniture manufacturers go to get energized by the latest offerings from Moore & Giles, Kravet, Nassimi, and other high-quality upholstery brands. This spring’s Market did not disappoint. We spent a fast-paced day, going from showroom to showroom, ordering swatch books, talking about the latest fabric technologies and reconnecting with our peers.
We started our day at Barbarossa Leathers, the premier embossed leather company. We have a love affair with their crocodile embossed leather – we recently made a pillow top ottoman out of Giant Crocodile-embossed leather.
