Vegas Market Recap Jan 2022
Categories: Market, Stump & Company | Published: Jan 28th 2022
The Stump team attended the semiannual Furniture Market at the Las Vegas World Market Center this week and was pleasantly surprised by the attendance and upbeat attitudes. Many exhibitors told us that over 100 retailers came and conducted strong new business. In addition, designers flocked to see new product trends and deepen vendor relationships.
We were particularly impressed with some of the new showrooms, like Hooker Furnishings (nice new showroom on A2). Those that stepped ...

The Stump team traveled to Las Vegas this week to attend the back-to-back residential market and the hospitality show. This two-for-one market special is a first, the result of the adjusted “COVID calendar”. But we think there may be advantages that provide some interesting and compelling opportunities for buyers to attend both shows to further blur the channels (read more about Stump’s perspective on the “hospi-dential” / “resi-mercial” trend in our past newsletters).
