Business of Home Podcast

Haworth began in the 1940s as a maker of office partitions and grew into a commercial furniture giant. But today the company is also home to a robust portfolio of high-end design brands, including Janus et Cie, Poltrona Frau, Cassina, Luminaire, Heller and more. On this episode of the podcast, Haworth CEO Franco Bianchi speaks with host Dennis Scully about what the American luxury landscape is missing out on, the company’s slow-and-steady acquisition process, and why he wants Haworth to go faster.
