The event follows an earlier lunch seminar featuring Olson and sponsored by International Market Centers and the Carolinas Chapter of the International Furnishings and Design Association entitled "Modern Meets Traditional."

Surya's Candice Olson Collection over the past four years has grown to include more than 150 different area rug styles, which retail for $399 to $3,000 each, as well as 40-plus decorative pillow options.

At High Point Market, the company will introduce an additional 30 new rugs from the Olson.
