What Home Meridian International does

Home Meridian International is a US-based furniture company headquartered in High Point, North Carolina, that designs, sources, and distributes residential furniture under the Hooker Furnishings brand. Its portfolio covers the full residential surface — living room seating and accents, dining tables/chairs/bar furniture, bedroom furniture and vanities, home office desks and storage, and outdoor living/dining sets including fire tables and pergolas. The company monetizes a horizontal product strategy with a custom upholstery made-to-order program and an exclusive licensed Margaritaville resort-themed collection that spans indoor and outdoor categories. Its go-to-market is dual-channel: a wholesale network of independent furniture dealers supported by a B2B account program with dealer-exclusive pricing and content, alongside a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at hookerfurnishings.com featuring a dealer locator and customization options. Product information is published through digital catalogs on the Publitas platform across Occasional & Accents, Custom Upholstery, Margaritaville, Bedroom & Dining Room, Home Office, and Upholstery categories, functioning as the primary top-of-funnel marketing surface. Public pricing is not disclosed; transactions are executed through dealer quoting or DTC inquiry, consistent with traditional mid-market residential furniture economics.
