Providence show features award winners
The 28th edition of the Providence Fine Furniture & Furnishings Show features Best of Show awards.
The 28th edition of the Providence Fine Furniture & Furnishings Show, held Nov. 3-5 at the WaterFire Arts Center in Providence, R.I., featured nearly 60 juried exhibitors of furniture, décor and art for the home.
The event offers attendees a chance to meet and speak with exhibitors at their booths.
“It’s always fun and always good exposure. It’s a lot about connecting,” says Geoffrey Warner of Owl Furniture in Stonington, Maine, an exhibitor for the past 10 years. “We had average sales there and we’ve already had some follow-up. We also connected with some customers who’ve seen us there previous years.”
