The home furnishing licensing agency
Product Lounge is the go-to home licensing firm, known for innovative product extensions in home furnishings. We develop collaborations for brands, designers, archives, and influencers, targeting luxury to mid-tier distribution across retail, DTC, hospitality, and trade. Our primary focus includes furniture, lighting, fabrics, wallcoverings, rugs, bedding, decorative hardware, and tile.
Licensing and collaborations can be some of the most powerful tools in a brand’s marketing arsenal.
Licensing provides the opportunity to expand into new product categories without significant capital investment with partners who are experts in those categories. Licensing infuses brands with increased visibility, additional customer touch points, added retail and online placement, enhancement of perceived image, and of course, revenue generation. Product Lounge is fully committed to providing our clients with impactful licensing partnerships with best of breed partners, comprised of core products that reflect their design aesthetic and brand positioning.
Founded in 2004 by Jason Rubinstein and Robyn Malin, Product Lounge helps our clients leverage the power of their brands and designs to build successful licensing programs and collaborations.
