Newest physical hall of fame is devoted to home furnishings

The newest physical hall of fame in the United States is the American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame in High Point, N.C.
The hall opened April 22 and is designed to preserve the history of the industry and celebrate individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to it.
Two permanent displays highlight the role of the industry in American life and the evolution of the High Point Market into the “Home Furnishings Capital of the World.”
Opening exhibits include the Iconic Design Spotlight, which focuses on four iconic home furnishings designs and the impact they’ve had on the industry and consumer lifestyles. There’s also the Gallery of Invention, which provides a timeline of key industry events; an Innovation Showcase and a Future Projections spotlight.
Estimated at $150 billion annually, the home furnishings industry in the U.S touches every room in the home, producing and selling products that range from sofas, tables and mattresses to lamps, rugs and accessories.
The American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame is one of 493 physical halls of fame in the North America. For a complete list of halls of fame in North America check out this Google map: “Halls of fame in the U.S. and Canada.”
