New York — Table linen and kitchen textiles manufacturer and importer Avon Home Fashions recently signed a new lease for a second space at 295 Fifth Ave.

The new 1,400-square-foot space, suite 1611, was the former showroom of ceramic bath accessories and tabletop goods importer Certified International Corp. Avon will use the space as the company's new state-of-the-art design studio and marketing offices for its five-person team. The existing space at suite 1512 will continue to serve as the company's main showroom. The marketing and design offices at 1512 will soon be converted as more showroom space, said Chris Mooney, vp of design and marketing.

Certified International moved out of the 295 building earlier this summer after renting the space for five years when it landed a larger showroom at 225 Fifth Ave. in suite 400.
