The High Point Market Authority (HPMA), in partnership with Esteem Media, has announced the participants for its Spring 2026 Design Influencers Tour, a social media-driven program designed to spotlight standout product finds and showroom discoveries from High Point Market.
Set to take place during the spring edition of High Point Market in April, the initiative will feature six design professionals from across the U.S. visiting sponsor showrooms and curating their top furnishings picks from the event. The selected influencers will share their finds online before, during, and after Market, extending the reach of new product introductions and showroom highlights across social platforms.
This season’s Design Influencers Tour participants are:
- Danielle Chiprut, Danielle Rose Design Co.
- Kristin Harrison, Georgia & Hunt Design House
- Jen Dean, Jede Interiors
- Lisa Shaffer, Lisa & Leroy
- Alykhan Velji, Alykhan Velji Designs Inc.
- Karen Wolf, k+co. Living
According to HPMA, the program is intended to connect participating brands with the broader High Point Market audience through real-time digital content and post-event social coverage.
“The seasonal Design Influencers Tour is an ideal vehicle for our participating brands and content creators to grow their exposure with the High Point Market audience,” said Tammy Covington, president and CEO of HPMA. “During two fast-paced days of showroom visits, each influencer will aim to capture the very best product introductions, furnishings displays and inspiring Market experiences for sharing online.”
Followers can track content from the tour by searching #DesignInfluencersTour on social media. HPMA said updates will begin ahead of Market and continue through late May, giving the home furnishings industry and design community an extended look at notable showroom trends, featured products, and standout displays from the spring event.
High Point Market remains a major platform for identifying emerging trends in home furnishings, interior design, materials, and product presentation, making programs like the Design Influencers Tour another way brands can amplify visibility beyond the showroom floor.
