A Resource Like No Other

Each Fine Furnishings Show is an incredible resource for fresh and exciting home furnishings that are designed and handcrafted by talented artisans from throughout North America. Each venue presents a marketplace for extraordinary custom furniture designed to fit a broad range of styles. Complementing the furniture is an exciting variety of accessories and original art. Work is all original, well conceived, imaginative and appropriate for home decor.

The shows are open to artists and designers who are the primary entrepreneurs behind their business and intrinsically involved in the design and handcrafting process. Thirty to forty percent of the artisans exhibiting are new each year. For many of the exhibitors, Fine Furnishings is the ONLY show they do each year creating a unique buying opportunity for shop owners and interior designers.

Claudia Mills, who has displayed her colorful hand-woven rag and leather rugs at the show for several years recently stated, "The designers I have met at the Fine Furnishings Show are looking for unique and well-crafted work both in furniture and home accessories. They are always happy to find new and stimulating resources outside the realm of the design center at the show. Most of the artisans exhibiting do custom consignment work and are in the show specifically to make contact with designers and architects."

“We were so impressed by the breadth and quality of work available at the Fine Furnishings Show in Milwaukee. In fact, we were able to source several artisans to feature full-time in our Chicago studios. Those who attended the show were amazed at the level of craftsmanship available from these purely American artisans. This is what "green" is all about! Responsible individuals using sustainable domestic resources to their fullest extent - and then building in quality that will ensure the pieces will last for generations! I think anyone, designers included, would be foolish to ignore this show. This is the place to "bookmark" resources for the future.”
