The azaleas and dogwoods were in full bloom last week, setting a beautiful scene for the 100th Anniversary Spring Furniture Market in my home town of High Point, North Carolina. But the greenery didn’t stop at the front door of the showrooms! “Green” was, without a doubt, the overriding theme of the market this year. Sustainability messages were everywhere and everyone seemed excited by all the buzz. Sustainable furniture collections, educational seminars, green-themed parties, and even green cocktails added to the feeling that the movement is gaining critical mass. It was a perfect theme for debuting our newest collection to the world.

Merida Home’s new collection of sustainable natural fiber area rugs for National Geographic Home gained some great momentum during the week. It was our first time showing with National Geographic and I met with many new and existing customers who were thrilled to see our two brands working together. Merida’s sustainability story and the high quality of our products were a perfect fit with National Geographic in the minds of the buyers I met with. From the photos I took of the Lane furniture showroom where we exhibited, you can really see what a big impact our rugs made in each room setting.

I’m looking forward to working with our retail customers to bring this collection to rug and home furnishings stores across the country. If you were not at High Point and would like more information on the Merida Home Collection for National Geographic Home, please contact us at 800-345-2200 or info@meridameridian.com.
