it’s a daunting yet intensely fun 4 days as we scour the artisan workshops + showrooms of high point, nc looking for ‘just the right items’ for our artefact clientele. we will meet with tom + sabine verellen + team, test sit each + every piece on the showroom floor, look at new fabric offerings, visualize how we can best show the best of the best at the shop…
then it’s off to see new artisans, check out the suites at market square (where we are perpetually lost), visit the Carver’s Guild suite (so much glamour in such a small space), our indonesia importers…the list goes on + on. we walk at least 10 miles a day (looking for my fitbit)…and settle in each evening at the best hotel in town, The Proximity.
