COLLABORATIONS

In the glitzy realm where design meets commerce, an exciting collaboration is about to unfold. ASID (American Society of Interior Designers) and the Las Vegas Market are set to join forces for the upcoming January Market, promising a tantalizing showcase of the latest trends and innovations in the world of furniture, gift, and home décor.

Las Vegas Market, renowned as a premier West Coast sourcing destination, is where the magic will happen. This sprawling, state-of-the-art campus boasts not one, but four impressive buildings, each brimming with a treasure trove of cross-category resources that cater to every design aficionado's desires. It's a place where creativity thrives, and the buzz of inspiration fills the air.

Mark your calendars for a remarkable ASID Industry Partner Market Tour,

In the bustling world of interior design and furniture, partnerships are the keystones of innovation and progress. Enter the captivating alliance between Zuo Modern and the ASID, two titans of the furniture industry, dedicated to fostering creativity, knowledge, and excellence in the world of interior design. This partnership is more than just a collaboration; it's a symphony of talent, education, and groundbreaking design.

The bond between ZUO and ASID is one that transcends the typical business relationship. It's a marriage of minds, each bringing unique strengths to the table. While ZUO is renowned for its cutting-edge furniture designs, ASID boasts an impressive array of resources and expertise in the field of interior design. Together, they are a force to be reckoned with.

One of the central pillars of this partnership is education.

In the ever-evolving world of interior design, few transformations are as breathtaking as the ones that seem effortless. Such is the magic wielded by Ann Corn, a visionary designer affiliated with Shag LLC. Her recent project in Boca Raton serves as an exquisite testament to her talent. But what's even more inspiring is the philosophy that underpins her approach – that refreshing the look and feel of your living space doesn't necessarily mean discarding the old and buying everything anew. Sometimes, all it takes is a few accent pieces to bring about a paradigm shift in style.

Re-use and Revitalize

It's not uncommon for homeowners to grow tired of their interiors. Styles change, personal tastes evolve, and what once felt trendy might now feel outdated. However, Ann Corn believes that a complete overhaul isn't always the answer. Her Boca Raton project f

I’m anything but avid gamer, but in recent days I’ve had fun playing Design Home, a leading home decorating game that allows users to pick out brand-specific furniture and décor while designing everything from a new bedroom to that dream home.

I downloaded the app, which is available in the Apple Store and Google Play store, at the behest of Zuo CEO Luis Ruesga, who excitedly told me about his company’s new partnership with the game’s creator. The partnership allows Zuo items to be among the options from which players can choose when designing a bedroom, living room, home office or outdoor space.

“It’s a very cool way to extend the reach of our brand to more consumers and interior designers, especially tech-savvy Millennials who have grown up with video games,” Ruesga said.

Althoug

The collaboration between the Las Vegas Market and four other major January trade shows has led Zuo to secure a high-profile sponsorship role at the annual Kitchen and Bath Industry show (KBIS), the premier event for kitchen and bath designers.

No, Zuo isn’t planning to add kitchen sinks or bathroom vanities to its product line anytime soon, but the sponsorship allows the company to tout its importance to the restaurant industry by supplying all the seating and other furnishings for a lounge that will host a variety of presentations at the KBIS show. (Restaurant designers shop KBIS because, after all, those businesses need kitchens and bathrooms, too.)

Both shows take place Jan. 29-Feb. 2 in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Market, where Zuo maintains a year-round showroom, is at the familiar World Market Center, while KBIS is at the recently e

If you’re a female business owner or interior designer involved with home furnishings, here’s the perfect excuse for your next trip to Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Design Center, which is made up of about 30 year-round showrooms in Building A of the World Market Center, is hosting a panel discussion and luncheon on Oct. 6 called Project You: Empowering Women in Business. The half day event will be headlined by five female entrepreneurs and business owners who will, in the words of event organizers “inspire collaboration and education.”

“We are proud to be a sponsor of this unique gathering of some of the top young female entrepreneurs connected with the home furnishings business,” said Luis Ruesga, CEO of Zuo. “Not only will attendees gain insights from the panelists, but they will also have boundless networking opportunities with their pe

Gather - A National Conference by American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), kicked off Wednesday, Sept 21 at the Intercontinental Miami. With three days filled with programming, education, and design focused displays from sponsoring brands.

Gather 2022, is the inaugural conference event created as an opportunity for industry engagement where peer to peer learning and connection helps to strengthen interior designer’s business and practice.

Creating the opportunity to network and forge new relationships is at the core of our organization’s values and we are incredibly proud with ho

Allison Eden Studios, celebrates the success of NY NOW, sharing details on brand collaborations with three innovative manufacturers for the summer show.

Zuo’s recent collaboration with designer Allison Eden will be in the spotlight at next month’s NY Now show when the company returns to the cutting-edge design show for the first time since 2017.

Zuo’s signature mid-century modern furniture – including several pieces covered with Eden’s mosaic-inspired fabrics – will be featured in a high-profile lounge for designers that will be located adjacent to the main show entrance.

NY Now organizers say the goal is to give designers a focal point to reconnect since the organization has not held an in-person trade show in more than two years. Plus, the event likes to highlight works by New York City natives such as Eden. (Her studio currently is in Brooklyn.)

“It gives our audience a chance to experience a fun and elevated take on class

Amid the myriad of supply chain challenges facing furniture importers these days, the enormous rise in container shipping costs – especially for goods shipped from Asia – takes center stage. And the seemingly endless delays in getting those containers from an Asian port to a U.S. warehouse runs a close second.

But the folks at Zuo have developed a very creative end-run around this issue. In addition to ramping up production at its upholstery factory in Mexico, the company recently began making upholstery in the Dominican Republic.

So you’ve never heard of anyone making upholstery in the Dominican Republic? We hadn’t either – until we got a peek at Zuo’s new product launches at last month’s High Point Market. The lineup included 25 sharp-looking SKUs from the new Dominican Republic factory.
