| Adama’s Nuria Rug is an innovative, flat rug with no piles or fibers, allowing spills and stains easily to be removed with a wet cloth. It is robot vacuum cleaner friendly, as well. At Atlanta Market, Adama is shown by Melrose International LLC. B1 17-C11 and B1 17-E18 |
| Foil Décor’s 9×13 Red Foil Pan has the look of a traditional pan but doesn’t carry the same weight or reach the same hot temperatures because it is made of plastic. The snap-on lid also can be used as a dish. B2 3-427 |
| Annie Selke’s Mod Cabin Quilt features a lush, modern take on color blocking. This medley of interlocking shapes in Royal, Navy, Turquoise, Denim and Aegean Teal is a homage to the traditional Log Cabin patchwork design. B1 15-A1 |
