Show Notes
Scott Kerr sits down with David Rosenblatt, CEO of online luxury design marketplace 1stdibs, to discuss how the 25-year-old company evolved from providing vintage and antique offerings of the Paris Flea Market online into a publicly-traded $400 million e-commerce powerhouse. He also talks about taking the helm of 1stdibs and transitioning the business model from a listings platform to a full online marketplace, why wealthy buyers and professional sellers are attracted to 1stdibs, capitalizing on the digital shift and housing boom in the COVID-era economy, the decision to IPO, why it entered and exited the NFT and online auction business, the effects from tariffs, and what the future holds for expanding into brick-and-mortar. Plus: Design trends from the latest 1stdibs luxury e-commerce report.
