Interior designer panel to explore the evolution of luxury kitchen design on opening day of High Point Market.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The High Point Market Authority (HPMA) has just announced this spring\u2019s opening day Keynote Series event at High Point Market<\/a>: \u201cDesigning the Kitchen Your Clients Want,\u201d presented in partnership with the Design Leadership Network (DLN) on Saturday, April 25, at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marking the home furnishings trade show\u2019s first-ever keynote focused specifically on residential kitchen design, the trending topic will be explored in a panel discussion featuring distinguished interior designers Benjamin Johnston, Alfredo Paredes, Caren Rideau, and Sarah Robertson, moderated by DLN editorial director Hadley Keller Lloyd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDesign professionals are attuned to how the kitchen serves as the heart of nearly every home,\u201d says Tammy Covington, HPMA president and CEO. \u201cWe\u2019re excited the DLN chose to focus on the evolution of this room for our Spring Market keynote.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow more than ever, the kitchen is a laboratory for how we think about living well \u2014 how we gather, nourish ourselves, and integrate beauty, performance, and wellness into daily life,\u201d says Michael Diaz-Griffith, executive director and CEO of the Design Leadership Network. \u201cIts renewed centrality reflects changing patterns of work, hospitality, and home \u2014 and, ultimately, family life. This conversation brings together designers who are shaping that evolution with clarity, intention, and a rigorous understanding of what modern luxury demands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To further capture the design zeitgeist, a new book, The Kitchen <\/em>by the Design Leadership Network, is currently in development with luxury publisher Assouline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keynote event details may be found online here<\/a>. The High Point Theatre is located next to the Transportation Terminal, and doors will open at 2:30 p.m. The Saturday Keynote is open to all registered High Point Market attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
