Steelyard and Universal To The Trade partner once again to host the popular pop-up workspace exclusively for interior designers

HIGH POINT, NC, USA, April 13, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Building on the success of last fall’s Designer’s Lounge, Steelyard and Universal To the Trade have teamed up again to offer a relaxing, entertaining, and educational place exclusively for interior designers attending High Point Market. New to the Lounge this spring are several unique events including a Market Eve salon with special guest appearances, a weekend “Pooch Pop-Up”, and Cash & Carry. See the expanded lounge schedule here.

The Steelyard Designer’s Lounge, located within the To The Trade Showroom at Universal’s beautifully renovated flagship building (101 South Hamilton St.), will be open Friday, 12 - 6 and Saturday, April 22 through Tuesday, April 25 from 9 am to 6 pm. Along with ample gathering and work areas, the Lounge offers a variety of amenities designers need to survive long Market days: coffee, organic juices, wine, snacks, Wi-Fi, charging stations, iPads, and a bag check.

“Designers are an important part of our business. It’s one of the key reasons we made the move to downtown High Point, so continuing to host The Designer’s Lounge was a natural fit for us in being able to enhance the Market experience for design partners” said Neil MacKenzie, Universal’s director of marketing.

“Universal’s respect for the interior design community is in perfect alignment with Steelyard’s commitment to being the industry’s most efficient trade-only design resource,” says Steelyard Chairman & CEO, Shawn Hughes. “The Lounge affords us a great space to meet new designers and reconnect with our users. We’ve already formed several valued partnerships resulting from chance meetings in last fall’s Lounge. You never know who you might run into!”

Designers can register for complimentary access to the Lounge online or in person at Universal.
They can also pre-register to attend Universal’s Bow Ties and Blue Jeans party beginning at 5 p.m. on Monday, April 24th.
