This week Design News Now Editor in Chief Courtney Porter sat down with Pamela N. Danziger, internationally recognized scholar on The American Affluent and consumer buying habits to discuss the state of the luxury market. Their wide-ranging conversation covers:
- Opportunities for manufacturers and interior designers to grow with their consumers’ incomes
- Which home furnishings brands have the name recognition and trust from consumers with household incomes of $400k+
- How manufacturers and interior designers need to brace themselves for a down market by moving from “growth mode” to “profit mode”
- Why she thinks Banana Republic should stay in their lane
- And why the quiet luxury “trend” is here to stay
