“Taking my years of expertise as a sales representative, meticulously orchestrating travels for various trade shows, I intimately understand the intricate dance of navigating the global design landscape. Having immersed myself in countless magazines, trade publications, and exhibitor websites, I realized the need for a comprehensive, all-in-one resource - a compass guiding professionals and enthusiasts through the dynamic world of furniture, textiles, and architectural products.

If you have been searching for a resource to keep at your fingertips, bookmark, and come back to time and again—this is that list.” - Lauren HM
