“We’re excited about the opportunity to showcase our extensive collection of Home products to a new group of design professionals,” says Mark Furlet, senior vice president of Leasing for AmericasMart’s home, rug and holiday/ floral collections. “We’re confident our exhibitors will make a lasting impression with their strong array of incredible lines.”
