NEW YORK — Thomasville Home Furnishings will be expanding its space in suite 1619 of 295 Fifth Avenue by taking over two adjacent showrooms in time for the spring market.

The expansion will take Thomasville's showroom space from about 2,000 square feet to 5,500 square feet.

Company president and CEO Kenneth Lowery said, "We are putting in a new design studio that will allow us to respond more quickly in the marketplace, as well as smooth out our product-development process."

He explained that the additional room allows the company to feature about 15 display beds as opposed to its current eight.

"Our prime objectives here are to display more product, improve our design and development space, and position the company to develop product more efficiently," said Lowery.
