With the industry gearing up for the next High Point Furniture Market Oct. 21-26, expect to see a stunning display from Sherrill’s brands. This fall’s High Point Market anticipates bringing together around 75,000+ industry professionals from all over the globe to check out new resources and view spectacular furniture showrooms. And this year, attendees to High Point can expect to see the innovative craftsmanship of Sherrill, along with the latest in custom finishes, fabrics, trim styles, nail applications and more in their new showroom.
Sherrill Brands have been producing American-made upholstery and custom furniture since 1945, with a history of supplying high-quality furniture across the United States and Canada. They recently opened a new upholstery plant in Conover, North Carolina, in March 2022 to meet the demand from high-end retailers and designers. This move reflects the Sherrill family’s continued strategic investment in areas such as workforce expansion, manufacturing equipment for its case goods and upholstery facilities, and technological innovation. Their investments are coming to fruition and will be on display at Sherrill’s new 100,000+ sq ft showroom during this fall’s High Point Market.
The team behind Sherrill Brands is showcasing their furniture introductions in their massive three-story state-of-the-art showroom at 315 Fred Alexander Place in High Point. The new space offers ample room to accommodate market attendees and dedicated exhibition areas for all of Sherrill’s brands. It also includes a new company timeline wall installation representing the brand’s history from 1881-2022 on the first floor and a new high-tech design center and lounge on the second floor, affectionately named the ’45 Gallery commemorating the brand’s official incorporation in 1945. The showroom building is newly renovated inside and out with a clean, modern exterior design and façade, floor to ceiling windows, fresh paint, interesting wall coverings, modern flooring, new light fixtures, decorative accents, original art, updated restroom facilities and more.
