Las Vegas Market Moves Green Pavilion

Las Vegas, NV, June 12, 2008--The Summer 2008 Las Vegas Market said it will be emphasizing sustainability more than ever.

Eco-friendly products can be found in the Living Green Pavilion, located on the fifth floor of the new Building C.

This is the third market in which the World Market Center Las Vegas has gone green, by providing interested buyers with a centralized place to find eco-friendly products. The Living Green Pavilion has been popular since its inception, and is attracting more cutting-edge sellers than ever before.

“All products shown inside the Living Green Pavilion have a legitimate eco-story.  Some products are made from recycled materials, others from FSC-certified wood or other sustainably harvested materials,” says Sustainable Furniture Council board member and Living Green Pavilion Leasing Manager, Jeffrey Hiller.

Within the Living Green Pavilion, the theme spans contemporary, transitional and traditional styles in virtually all segments, including upholstery, case goods, accent furniture, accessories and bedding.

Eco Exotic will showcase unique products from Indonesia, all of which use 100 percent FSC-certified lumber.

There has also been a concerted effort to secure a wide range of substantial manufacturers with eco-friendly products that have mainstream appeal from a design, availability and pricing standpoint. It’s a way of combating the common perception that these types of products are unusual niche products that carry a price premium.

In addition to showcasing the latest in furnishings and accessories, a diverse lineup of free education seminars on everything green will also be a highlight for attending buyers.
