Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, this year's American High Point Furniture Fair Spring Exhibition was postponed from the original April to June 5-9. The postponement of the exhibition not only reserved time for the American furniture industry to solve the problem of shortage of supplies, but also helped the organizers of the High Point Exhibition combine the latest industry trends to provide better services for the majority of furniture companies.

In this regard, the organizer of the US High Point Exhibition, High Point Market Authority, announced on April 13 that this year’s High Point Spring Exhibition will create an outdoor furniture exhibition area called "Design Oasis" for the first time, allowing exhibitors to focus on display. All kinds of outdoor furniture and outdoor decoration products. It is reported that the new exhibition area will be set up on the central stage to form a covered outdoor area, with desert oasis and Italian garden as design inspiration.

Organizer Tom Conley said: “During the COVID-19 pandemic, the popularity of outdoor spaces has increased exponentially, which sends a positive signal to our exhibitors and buyers.” In addition, he is responsible for planning. The designer who designed the new exhibition area also said that more and more customers hope to get professional advice on outdoor space design, and they hope to extend the home living space beyond the four walls.

According to a 2021 trend report recently released by the International Casual Furnishings Association (ICFA), 90% of Americans believe that their outdoor living space is more important than before, and 78% of Americans said during the epidemic, its outdoor space was upgraded and built again.

In addition, statistics from Pinterest, a global photo social sharing website, also show that in 2020, searches for “outdoor kitchens and bars” will surge 2795%, and searches for “outdoor play space” will increase by 550% in 2020.

Therefore, the brand-new "outdoor home furnishing exhibition area" created by High Point this year is a timely response to the development of current market trends. The organizer intends to create an in-depth discussion of the outdoor furniture market for the industry in this exhibition, and at the same time provide a better exhibition experience for visitors by creating an outdoor communication and dining area.
