Last week marked the first early start for the High Point Market, held March 26-April 1 in High Point, N.C. The change doesn't have any effect on the variety of outdoor products featured at the show. From outdoor lighting to full-scale casual furniture collections, there was plenty to see in the Furniture Capital.

Part of the Outdoorables line of outdoor lighting, Frederick Cooper's The Golden Stalk lamp is crafted from unique porcelain with hand-painted Tuscan leaves over black marble, topped with a sesame fabric round stretch shade.

Handcrafted from Italian marble and travertine, the Serafina tabletop from Ancient Mosaic Studios combines a palette of neutral colors like ebony, gold, green and almond.
