Gap Finders: Sandrine Zhang Ferron from Vinterior.

Available for over a year

Our Gap Finders interview today is with Sandrine Zhang Ferron, the founder of Vinterior, the online marketplace for antique, vintage and pre-loved furniture. Sandrine, who has a passion for antiques and unique homeware, founded Vinterior when she was hunting for antique furniture for her home. Sandrine worked in finance but thought a platform where dealers could list their products online and be easily searchable for antique hunters would be a real niche in the market. Sandrine quit her job to start Vinterior, and built the website from scratch, persuading antique dealers to list their items on there. We speak to Sandrine about how she built her business and about the second hand, antique and vintage furniture market; as well as how consumers passion for sustainability has led them to websites like Vinterior instead of buying new furniture.
