ATLANTA — Polywood has opened a new 11,000-square-foot showroom at AmericasMart that will be open Monday through Friday year-round to the trade.
Lindsay Schleis, vice president of business development at Polywood, explains what this new flagship showroom will offer and how it will benefit specialty retailers and designers.
“With 11,000 square feet of space, we’re thrilled to be able to permanently showcase the largest display we’ve ever had. Winter Market will feature all three collections from our recently launched PW Designer Series. We’re also looking forward to debuting our latest collaboration, the Martha Stewart by Polywood Chinoiserie collection.”
The new state-of-the-art showroom has ample room to host events and entertain, and features multiple design centers where designers can bring clients to create an outdoor oasis. To celebrate the first market in its new space, the company is hosting a cocktail party from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 12., in Building 1, Space 3-E-1.
The company also recently was recognized at the 33rd Annual ARTS Awards in Dallas, which is Polywood’s second consecutive win. Last year they won the Green Award in recognition of their long-time dedication to sustainable manufacturing. This year they were up against five other manufacturers in the Outdoor Living category.
The black-tie gala was held on Jan. 6 at the Hilton Anatole Hotel Chantilly Ballroom. It was co-hosted by television celebrity designers Thom Filicia and Carson Kressley, who also made a trip to visit Polywood’s headquarters in Syracuse, Indiana, last summer.
