A comprehensive and updated collection of home products will be offered in At Home at the New York International Gift Fair (NYIGF), August 15-20, 2009, with a coalescence of hard lines at Passenger Ship Terminal Pier 94 and soft goods on Level 1 of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

"At Home's two locations - Pier 94 and the Javits Center - each have been refined to facilitate the sourcing experience for buyers shopping specific home product categories," said Dorothy Belshaw, NYIGF director and GLM senior vice president. "In addition, we are delighted to welcome a number of new and repositioned hard lines and soft goods suppliers to the summer market."

This summer, At Home will consolidate hard lines at Pier 94, offering buyers access to a complete range of home goods - from indoor to outdoor and traditional to contemporary.

Newcomers to Pier 94 include Tourmaline Home (which is also new to NYIGF) and Fabrice De Villaneuve Studio, The Homeport, Kingsley-Bate, Roost, Woods & Willow and Zentique (all relocating to and expanding at Pier 94).

According to Belshaw, "At Home at Pier 94 provides a unique resource that is both comprehensive in scope and carefully edited to present the industry's most fashion-forward home furnishings suppliers."
