On February 18th, the Design Center in High Point, NC put on an event called Unity in Design. This event was open to all the different design organizations as a way promote untiy, offer continuing education units, and entice designers to come shop the year round vendors the maintain showrooms in High Point. Each organization, had a part in this event. The organization with which I am affiliated, the Association of Interior Design Professionals (AIDP) put on the first breakfast/workshop. This event coincided with a need that I had, to shop for some very specific client items. As much as I would've loved to have participated in the event, I was on a mission!
This mission of mine was to find, among other things, some items that had a French flair. A client that I am working with has origins in France, and we are incorporating that heritage into the new pieces that we are adding to her home. Tops on my list of places to visit was the company, French Heritage. While I was in the store, I met Hennesy Wayser, the owner of company. She was preparing to speak to the design community during a Unity in Design lunch event. We had a lovely visit and a rather lively discussion about social media, the direction of marketing, and the future of our industry. She is a remarkable woman, a former fashion model turned astute business leader. She has brought her sense of fashion and creativity to the sometimes stodgy world of furniture. It was great fun to meet her and have a sneak peek into what she sees for the future.
The showroom offers furniture from case goods to upholstery, as well as, accessories and lighting. Here are some shots I took while visiting...enjoy!
