A Sustainable Journey Through High Point Market
As the global consciousness shifts towards a more sustainable future, the design industry is not far behind in embracing eco-friendly practices. High Point Market, the mecca of design innovation, witnessed a remarkable rise in the awareness of sustainability during its latest edition. It was my privilege to lead a Hot Spot Tour focused on sustainability, guiding a group of like-minded individuals through a selection of showrooms that exemplify ethical and eco-conscious design principles.
Among the myriad of showrooms, a few stood out as beacons of sustainability, each showcasing a commitment to environmental responsibility and craftsmanship excellence.
