More than 30 premier showrooms at Forty One Madison will be open and display their latest designs for giftware buyers and retail executives who attend the New York Gift Show this August. As has become its custom, the tableware building will offer complimentary luxury bus service between Forty One Madison and the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, beginning Sunday, Aug. 14, and continuing through Wednesday, Aug. 17, available during show hours, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
“So many new showrooms have opened at Forty One since the winter edition of the Gift Show, and among them are brands that gift show attendees will want to be sure to see,” says Laurie Burns, Forty One Madison’s senior vice President director. “What’s more, the showrooms that are open for the gift show have the type of product assortments and opening minimums that gift buyers are looking for. Several of the exhibiting showrooms will offer a preview display of their ‘best of show’ entries in the Forty One Madison lobby.”
Burns notes that show goers can avail themselves of the Buyers’ Lounge on Level A, a Forty One Madison convenience with full Wi-Fi access that also serves as a meeting spot, and place to relax and catch up on emails in between appointments.
An Off-Hours Cultural Treat
Forty One Madison again has joined with gift show producer George Little Management, 230 Fifth Avenue and 7 West New York, to offer attendees a cultural treat. The week of the show, Aug. 12-18, attendees who show their badges will be entitled to free admission to one of New York’s most beloved institutions: the Museum of Arts & Design at Columbus Circle. On view will be three compelling exhibits: Otherworldly: Optical Delusions and Small Realities; Stephen Burks: Are You A Hybrid?; and A Bit of Clay on the Skin: New Ceramic Jewelry.
