ATLANTA – Following the inaugural Casual Market Atlanta in July, Andmore’s Outdoor Design Days at AmericasMart Atlanta last month welcomed retailers and designers to discover additional casual resources this fall.
“Outdoor Design Days not only offered casual and outdoor retailers an additional Q4 buying opportunity, but also introduced cross-category retailers and interior designers to a popular consumer category,” said Bob Maricich, Andmore CEO. “The success of the inaugural Outdoor Design Days signals the beginning of year-round exposure for casual resources at AmericasMart Atlanta.”
Outdoor Design Days, held Sept. 18-20, showcased some 50 casual permanent showrooms, spanning four contiguous floors at AmericasMart Atlanta. The event concurred with Andmore’s Fall Market at AmericasMart Atlanta and Discover ADAC at Atlanta Decorative Arts Center.
Attendees included local and regional interior designers, furniture stores and outdoor/patio retailers, and casual-focused events and seminars provided education and networking opportunities for marketgoers.
Casual furniture and outdoor living resources will continue to expand at AmericasMart Atlanta, with the opening of 15 new showrooms in time for the Winter 2024 Atlanta Market, Jan 16-22, 2024. With this additional 65,000 square feet of permanent showroom resources, AmericasMart Atlanta’s Building 1 will house nearly 400,000 square feet of casual showrooms.
The second annual edition of Casual Market Atlanta is set for July 15-18, 2024, concurring with Atlanta Market, July 16-18, 2024.
