Kichler to Open New Boutique at High Point Market

The company says its “residentially inspired” destination will offer an immersive way to experience Kichler.

Lighting and ceiling fan manufacturer Kichler will be returning to High Point in a different manner than it had participated in High Point Market in the past when it had a permanent showroom for many years in the IHFC building.

Over the past year or so, Kichler has been expanding its presence at the twice-yearly market, most recently by presenting a selection of its products within the dedicated National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) space in Broad Hall, located at the corner of Broad Avenue and Elm Street.

At the upcoming fall market, the company will unveil its Kichler Boutique, a new permanent destination created specifically with the design community in mind. Located at 201 West High Avenue in High Point, the approximately 3,000-sq.-ft. Kichler Boutique reportedly represents a new approach to the traditional lighting showroom.

Kichler has designed the boutique space as “a residentially inspired destination where lighting is experienced in context through thoughtfully layered vignettes, curated product stories and spaces designed for conversation, discovery and hospitality.” The company added, that the boutique “reflects Kichler’s growing focus on the professional design community and the importance of High Point as a place for designers to discover products firsthand.”

The Boutique will host an invitation-only preview on Friday, October 16, followed by a series of celebratory events during High Point Market, which runs October 17-21.

“Lighting is such an important part of how a space looks and feels, yet there is no substitute for experiencing a fixture in person. Designers want to see its scale, materials, finish and the quality of light it creates,” said Kristina Christopher, chief marketing officer of Coleto Brands. “As Kichler continues to elevate its product portfolio and deepen its relationship with the design community, we wanted to create a place that feels less like a traditional showroom and more like a destination designers will want to visit. The Kichler Boutique gives us an opportunity to welcome them into the brand in a much more personal and immersive way.”

Created in partnership with High Point-based Barbour Spangle Design, the Kichler Boutique environment is intended to encourage designers to linger, explore and consider lighting as an integral layer of a room or an exterior. Throughout the space, decorative lighting will be presented within styled vignettes that demonstrate how scale, materiality, finish and illumination can help shape an interior. Comfortable hospitality areas will provide casual spots for coffee and conversation.

What’s inside: a preview of 2027 intros

The Boutique will feature a curated assortment of Kichler’s best-selling designs alongside new collections introduced in 2026, as well as a preview of select products to come in 2027.

Bringing the vision of the Kichler Boutique to life was a collaborative effort, with leading home and design brands contributing products and materials throughout. Fabuwood provided custom cabinetry; Newport Brass supplied plumbing fixtures; and James Martin Vanities outfitted the bathroom vignettes and working powder rooms. Together, these elements help create a layered and inspiring environment while allowing Kichler’s products to be experienced alongside the high-quality materials, finishes and products designers specify every day.

Kichler products will still be shown at High Point Market through its continued partnership with the NKBA at the newly expanded Broad Hall, also designed by Barbour Spangle Design. Decorative and integrated lighting systems will be featured in two new vignettes, demonstrating how layered lighting can complement and enhance key spaces in a home.
