Manchester Furniture Show has relocated for this year

La-Z-Boy UK will be showcasing its latest ranges on Stand C24, Hall Q of the Harrogate Convention Centre. This will be the first opportunity since before the pandemic that retailers will be able to experience La-Z-Boy’s products and ranges in room settings and appreciate what they could look like in their customers’ homes.

The new ranges have something to appeal to all tastes, whether you’re looking for more contemporary models with a slimmer profile, models with an air of opulence and accentuated curves, or more traditional styles. All reflect La-Z-Boy UK’s Live Life Comfortably slogan and use its renowned fabrics.

It will also be exhibiting its new swivel chairs, designed to be an extremely versatile piece offering a luxurious but practical seat within a home office set-up, or a stylish and comfortable statement piece in a flexible living space. An additional aspect of the new pedestal chairs is the rechargeable battery, which means the power recline feature can be used anywhere in the home without needing to be near a plug socket.

‘We’re really excited for retailers to get a proper look at and experience our new collections at the Manchester Furniture Show. The Covid-19 pandemic has meant that opportunities to showcase our furniture ranges in person have been very limited and this is a great chance for suppliers and retailers to come together again,’ says Tristan Pyke, La-Z-Boy UK head of sales.

Buoyant’s Blaise

MFS has been chosen as a test event

Since 1909 Buoyant has led the way in the manufacture of upholstered furniture, producing high-quality, design-led product with an emphasis on comfort. Its design and production processes, as well as its years of experience, blend together seamlessly resulting in unique, quality furniture.

‘There is no doubt that we have all witnessed the craziest year or so of our lives. As we start to return to normality we are excited to be exhibiting our products again and are looking forward to welcoming all our loyal customers to this year’s Manchester Furniture Show in Harrogate. Stay safe and we hope to see you all at the show,’ says Mike Aramayo, Buoyant md.

Gala will return to the show, in a range of upholstery models. Lorien is a modern interpretation of a wing-back chair and is available as a fixed chair, reclining chair, footstool, and two-seater and three-seater sofas.

No social distancing or masks will be required at the exhibition. The show, and the Home & Gift Buyers’ Festival, have been selected to be a pilot event in the third phase of the UK Government’s events research programme. This will mean no restrictions on visitor numbers or the need for social distancing or protective masks.

However, those attending the show will need proof of two vaccinations at least two weeks prior to attending, or a negative NHS lateral flow test at least 48 hours before attending.

For those registered with a GP in England, proof of a negative NHS lateral flow test taken within 48 hours prior to attending the event can be displayed via the NHS app, SMS text or email. Proof of vaccine can be displayed via the NHS app, NHS website or by downloading and printing off a PDF.

Those attending for multiple days may need to do a second lateral flow test, as they must have a negative result within 48 hours prior to attending any day.

Buyers from Scotland and Wales can show their vaccine status via a PDF from their respective NHS body.

The consent required from all show participants to opt in to the event research programme and NHS Test and Trace will be sent to all registered buyers and exhibitors individually.

‘With the backing of the Government, public health bodies and our key customers we can see that the appetite and enthusiasm are there for an in-person buying and selling event. There is great excitement from both exhibitors and visitors to reconnect in Harrogate,’ says Zoë Bonser, Clarion Events portfolio director. Visit: www.manchsterfurnitureshow.com

Gala’s Lorien

Four bar Hexham

This variant to the established eight bar Hexham spindle aims to give a cleaner, more contemporary look yet remains also able to cross over into traditional. A winner with painters.

Oak Loire Chair Natural Hopsack Oak Hamburg Carver Jet Hopsack Seat

Hexham Eight bar

Our highly popular eight bar back plain spindle back chair is where modern meets the best of Victorian simple. Equally at home in town or country dining settings. Available in beech or oak.

Hoop back

An enormously popular and stylish hoop back with elegant good looks and features, robust enough even for contract. This is a quality beech chair that fits many bills.

Windsor Hoop Carver

We have taken a classic Georgian style an adapted it for modern living. The ageless lines evoke their traditional background but also harness a more modern edge. Great as a stand-alone chair in its own right or a carver complement to our hoop or Hexham’s.
