Designers are heading to Las Vegas Market next week with a sharper lens.
Dallas and Atlanta are behind them—and now it’s not about discovering newness. It’s about choosing what fits.
They’ve seen a lot. Now they’re *editing.*
Filling gaps. Locking in what’s available *now*, not just what’s aspirational.
Timelines are tight. Fall installs are barreling in.
Designers are asking:
Yes, stories still matter—but only if they’re *crisp.*
*Livable luxury* is trending: sculptural lighting, warm woods, organic materials.
But only if they *hang together.*
More designers are wearing two hats—specifier and retailer.
Shopping for both projects *and* their storefronts or ecomm sites.
That shifts the questions:
And let’s be honest—trade program fatigue is real.
Designers don’t want more portals.
They want *clarity, service,* and a *human* who picks up the phone.

Bottom line:
Designers landing in Vegas on July 27 are more focused, more prepared, and more *ready to buy* than browse.
If you’re a brand with *style, service,* and *speed*—you’re in a great spot.
**What are you hearing headed into market week?
What’s changed in your playbook this season?**
Let’s compare notes.
