Candadian company Gus* had one of the most modern booths we saw at High Point. Styled with simple (and inexpensive) string art and leafy green plants, the space had a warm and laid-back look. New this year: the Atwood sectional and chair — named after Canadian writer Margaret Atwood — and the Sparrow rocking glider and ottoman.
The Atwood has a blind-tufted seat with piping, and the look is a little more tailored than previous Gus* lines. We also loved the Stanley console, a shallow entryway table with a recessed groove to catch your cell phone, and the Charmichael sofa, a high-back design that would fit in well with more traditional decor.

Candadian companies are known for their can-do dads! LoL
Their logo reminds me of the "HD" logo you find in so many places, like at the iTunes Store.
I've had a few products from them for a few years, couldn't be happier. Sofas are awesome, and their tables and storage unit are great. This company gets really overlooked.
I love their designs. But when I looked at the on-line suppliers, the sofas and sectionals had terrible reviews, and said they didn't last long. I'm happy to see a different opinion voiced by @konroy, but am left with wondering about the GUS* build quality.
Are all their sofas still made in China?
They have some nice designs, but many seem to be copies of other designers. I've owned one of their sectionals for two years and have used it only moderately and carefully: one of the springs has sprung and now squeaks; parts of the sectional have flattened while others haven't (in spite of having been sat on equally); and worst of all, the upholstery is separating at the seams, something I just noticed last night.
When I bought the sofa I was told it was made in Canada but I was later told by another shop assistant it was actually made in China.
Sadly, I'm now disappointed in the product and the company.
We've had the Carter sofa for around three years. It gets moderate use but it looks as good as the day we first bought it. I also have one of their Macassar c-tables which is fantastic.
I don't get the fascination with GUS-its truly well marketed-and great branding, but anyone who knows furniture can see that its way over hyped and priced for mass made chinese furniture-AT seems to really lap it up though
