Starting this summer, ANDMORE is rebranding its temporar y exhibits as F irst F inds for Atlanta Market ( June 9-14) and Las Vegas Market ( July 26-30).
F irst F inds redefines the role of temporar y exhibits – celebrating them as a discover y-driven destination for thousands of emerging brands, new products and early access buying opportunities, according to ANDMORE. The new name reflects the core behavior already happening in these spaces: buyers come to find what ’ s new – of ten before it reaches the broader market.
The rebrand is grounded in extensive buyer and exhibitor feedback, which highlighted both the opportunity and the challenge Temporary exhibits have long ser ved as the industr y ’ s “IRL incubator ” F irst F inds brings that focus into view with a more intentional, energized experience
“Buyers come to market to discover what ’ s next and F irst F inds puts that experience front and center,” said Amor y Wooden, EVP and CMO “ This is where new ideas show up first, where emerging brands gain visibility and where buyers can uncover products before they scale
“It ’ s about capturing that moment of discover y and building the experience around it ”
Key elements of F irst F inds inc lude:
• Ear ly access to emerging brands and under-the-radar products
• A more approachable, flexible environment for both buyers and exhibitors
• Increased emphasis on connection and relationship-building
• A heightened sense of urgency and excitement with expanded
collections and amenities
Thousands of lines will be organized into curated neighborhoods, organized by product categor y and aesthetic – ensuring optimal e
ANDMORE’s markets.
Attendees can expect enhanced programming, activations and on-site experiences designed to bring greater energ y and visibility to F irst F inds and reinforce its role as a hub for discover y, according to the company.
Forecasters expect to see a near-record for consumer spending on Mother ’ s Day (May 10), estimated at $34 1 billion, with individual spending at $260
Top c ategor ies of gif ts are flowers (74 percent of shoppers), greeting cards (73 percent) and special outings such as brunch (61 percent) Experts expect $7 billion will be spent on jewelr y, $5 9 billion on electronics and $3 2 billion on flowers
Adults aged 35 to 44 spend more than other demographics, averaging more than $345 Way to go, millennials!
Father ’ s Day is June 21 Sorr y, dads, but Mother ’ s Day spending significantly outpaces Father ’ s Day spending, with a higher total expenditure about 56 percent, according to the National Retail Federation My dad always liked going to Cracker Barrel Just saying Until next time, take care and stay safe KN

knIndustrie debuts collections in Milan takes
knIndustrie, a benchmark in the design of k i t c h e n t o o l s a n d t a b l e w a re, re t u r n e d t o Milano Home with a space conceived to present its latest collections alongside the highlights of its production
The stand was designed as a stage for products born from a new phase of research – objects created to inhabit space with style, stimulating perception and inviting visual and tactile interaction
Decoration takes center stage once again, not as a nostalgic reference to the past but as a contemporar y design gesture In this v i s i on , t h e o b j e c t i s n o l on ge r a m e re accessor y : it becomes a carrier of meaning, capable of telling stories, evoking imager y a n d re d e fi n i n g t h e re l a t i on s h i p b e t we e n design and ever yday life
The main novelty of the season is Magic O bjects, a cand leholder designed by Lara Caffi Made of concrete and available in three colors – yellow, taupe and brown –Magic Objects revisits a classic form inspired by antique silver cand lesticks, reinterpreted
t h ro u g h a c on t e m p o r a r y m a t e r i a l a n d a minimalist finish
Its deliberately asymmetrical structure and flat back make it an element conceived to establish a visual dialogue: a standalone object
t h a t i s n on e t h e l e s s o p e n t o re l a t i on s h i p W hen placed next to another cand leholder, it reveals a new formal reading, generating a complete and balanced figure.
Us e d on i t s ow n , i t re t a i n s a m o re enigmatic, sculptural character.
Another new addition is O utline Also designed by Lara Caffi, the new polished lacquer tray is defined by a sof t, continuous profile that combines practicality with an iconic presence O utline is both functional and decorative, with an essential form that engages with what it holds without e ver over powering it, through a contemporar y l a n g u a ge t h a t i s t r u e t o t h e k n I n d u s t r i e approach
The tray is available in two sizes (40×33 cm and 50×25 cm) and in four bold, timeless colors – white, black, orange, and brown –designed to coexist harmoniously or to stand alone as a central element on the table, a ser ving surface or within the home

The table becomes an artistic creation with a bold and unique expression in the choice of colors and shapes where gourmet delights come in pastel colors, sof t shapes and luminous materials
W ith S weet, the wor ld of tableware draws inspiration from fr uit y gummies, retro candies and the sugar y delights of childhood The idea is to create a visual and tactile experience, halfway between contemporar y design and joyful nostalgia Ever yday objects – plates, glasses, cutler y, and accessories – become almost sculptural pieces, as if taken from the display of an imaginar y pastr y shop

U.S. Homeowners Keeping Homes for 12 Years
The typical U S homeowner stays put in their house for 12 years, the longest median tenure since 2022 That ’ s according to a new report from Redfin, the real estate brokerage powered by Rocket
Homeowner tenure peaked at 13 4 years in 2020, then gr adual l y dec lined eac h year until 2024 The dec lines were dr iven by
d sel ling frenz y, when record-low mor tgage
y Americans to move Tenure inched up from 11 8 years in 2024 to 12 years in 2025 as
g costs
Still, homeowners are holding onto their houses for near ly twice as long as they were in the ear ly aughts In 2005, for instance, the typical homeowner stayed put for 6 5 years before selling O ver the next decadeplus, people stayed in their homes longer as the American population grew older
B a by b o om e r s a n d G e n X e r s b e c a m e increasingly likely to age in place because they ’ re financially incentivized to stay put –many older people own their homes free and c lear, and those who do have a mortgage likely have a much smaller payment than a homebuyer would today
Older people also typically have less reason
than younger people to relocate; for instance, they ’ re not as likely to move for a new job or grow their families
Homeowners hanging onto their houses for a long time c an be an obstac le for firsttime homebuyers A 2024 Redfin anal y sis found that empt y-nest baby boomers own 28 percent of Amer ic a ’ s three-bedroomplus homes, twice as many as millennials with kids W hile it ’ s understandable that older Amer ic ans want to hold onto their
pay ment – the flip side is that it depletes inventor y of starter homes and pushes home pr ices higher
l o s t s t e a m , a n d we e x p e c t i t t o i m p ro ve
more That should push more Amer ic ans to mo ve ”
L os Angeles homeowners typically hang onto their homes for 20 years – the longest span in the nation L os Angeles is also the metro with the biggest annual uptic k in tenure: 20 years in 2025, up from 19 4 years in 2024.
It ’ s followed by another major California metro, San Jose, where homeowners stay put for an average of 18 7 years Homeowners in S an Francisco (16 5 years), S an Diego (14 5 years) and Riverside (12 4 years) also h a n g on t o t h e i r h om e s l on ge r t h a n t h e national average

But their impact has been limited H om e ow n e
t i n L ouisville, where the typical owner spends 8 3 years in their house before selling It ’ s followed by Las Vegas (8 8 years), Charlotte, N C (9 2 years), Or lando, F la (9 2 years) and Raleigh, N.C. (9.3 years).
Tenure is shortest in those places partly because homes are affordable compared to many other parts of the United States W hen home prices are lower, it ’ s typically easier for homeowners to sell and move on because they ’ re not taking on an ultra-high mortgage payment on their next house
Another reason why tenure is relatively short in Las Vegas and Or lando: They ’ re vacation destinations, which means people m ay
neighborhood, which dr ives pr ices up e ven higher f or first-timers tr y ing to break into
“ But there is good ne ws: Homebuy ing a f f

employment opportunities Investors are also pulling back from Las Vegas and Or lando, which means some of them are selling homes and contributing to turnover
Homeowner tenure increased in 28 of the 41 metros in this analysis from 2024 to 2025, led by L os Angeles, Denver and Raleigh, N C I t s t aye d
