ATLANTA—Seven tabletop and gift showrooms will debut at the International Gift & Home Furnishings Market here next month. In addition, nine companies have expanded or relocated their showrooms at AmericasMart and 40 others have renewed their commitments there, said show organizer International Market Centers.
“The strength of the gift collection in Atlanta is its depth and breadth,” said Dave Savula, executive vice president, president of gift and apparel leasing, for IMC. “The merchandise mix supports the modern lifestyle retailer with a whole spectrum of resources from gifts to gourmet and entertaining, outdoor living and seasonal celebrations.”
New to Atlanta Market are Botanical Collection (hand-crafted pottery), Great Western Hardwood & Design (outdoor gifts), Inner Beauty and Bent Brush Art (reverse handpainted ornaments and gifts), tabletop suppliers LSA International and Rosenthal Sambonet USA, Seasonal Abode (seasonal décor and home accents), Sincere Surroundings (personalized home décor and gifts) and TDA Sales (representing A&M Wholesale, Arkwright, Chesapeake Bay by JD Yeatts, DSD Express, Duke Imports, PaperCraft Products, Pine Ridge, Sentry Industries and Teters Floral).
Nine expansions and relocations represent gains of some 15,000 square feet, IMC said. They are Blue Orange Pottery, Diverse Marketing, Flora Bunda, Floral Treasure, Gib Carson, Holiday Bright Lights, MacKenzie Childs, Raz Imports and Santa’s Own.
