/R E P E A T -- Canadian Home Furnishings Market: Celebrating 40 Years of High-Quality Style!/ Français
TORONTO, Dec. 7, 2011 /CNW Telbec/ - Now in its fortieth year, the Canadian Home Furnishings Market is proud to be once again showcasing high-quality and innovative style from over 325 furniture manufacturers and distributors. Held from January 14th through January 17th 2012, the Market is the only show of its kind in Canada and has become a must-attend trade event for retailers, designers, decorators, suppliers and other furniture industry professionals. Over the past four decades TCHFM has become a reference in home furnishings, turning the spotlight on upcoming trends that are specifically geared toward the interests of Canadian consumers.
"Despite all the changes within our industry and our society, the Market has maintained its relevancy due to what it represents. For 40 years, not only has TCHFM showcased upcoming trends that will attract Canadian consumers, but it has also allowed retailers and suppliers to communicate and share; exchanging information and inspiration at a level that is much deeper than is achieved by email or via a smartphone", says Jean François Michaud, Market CEO.
