We spent years eliminating those categories to avoid seasonal markdowns, enabling us to have a significantly higher margin business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t miss: <\/strong>Americans are moving, but there\u2019s a \u2018notable reversal\u2019 in the types of homes they\u2019re choosing<\/p>\n<p>Where the company does take inspiration is from architecture and the dead, Friedman said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur business is not driven by the fashion cycles found in retail models that require frequent discounting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArchitectural trends tend to change over decades not years\u2026 As it relates to the dead, generations pass away and their belongings move through estate sales, which feed the antique markets, which drive the high-end interior design market, which influences the high-end reproduction market, and the trends continue to flow downstream. If you want to know where the Mid-Century Modern trend came from, do the math or visit a cemetery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <\/strong>Americans are desperate for furniture, but stores are battling inventory problems.
