District of Design Event: 2nd Annual Furniture Fair

From Downtownclevelandalliance.com:

Cleveland Furniture Fair 1.1

Downtown Cleveland:  The District of Design is proud to announce the second annual Cleveland Furniture Fair 1.1 at the Halle Building and Sterling Building in Downtown Cleveland May 19th and 20th. The fair will feature local furniture builders from Northeast Ohio’s Amish community, Cleveland-area artisan furniture makers, and forward-thinking consumer product designers from Cleveland.  The two day fair will feature more exhibitors this year, eight educational seminars, a new Continuing Education workshop for Interior Designers and architects, and a new showroom at the Sterling Building and other storefronts throughout the district.

In its second year, the Fair will help to identify the Northeast Ohio region as a hub for quality furniture and other consumer products while supporting the concept of the District of Design. By expanding the Fair this year, the District of Design is able to highlight an even greater variety of designers from the region, but also give exhibitors a better opportunity to market their company and products.

An invite-only VIP reception is scheduled for Thursday, May 19th from 5:00pm-9:00p.m. During the reception guests will have the opportunity to view exhibits, personally meet local furniture builders and be able to purchase floor samples.  Fair hours for the general public are Thursday, May 19th from 9:00am to 5:00p.m and Friday, May 20th from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The Cleveland Furniture Fair is sponsored by:  the City of Cleveland, Downtown Cleveland Alliance, Forest City, Sherwin-Williams, Cleveland State University, Cleveland Institute of Art, PlayhouseSquare and others.
