Leading Home Furnishings E-retailer Viyet.com Introduces Full Buying/selling Service In Los Angeles

NEW YORK - May 4, 2015 - PRLog -- Viyet (www.viyet.com), the leading online marketplace for pre-owned designer furnishings, announces the expansion of its consignment services from the New York Tri-State Area to the West Coast with the launch of Los Angeles. Starting today, Southern California customers will be able to sell their high-end home furnishings through Viyet’s full-service consignment offerings.

Viyet CEO Elizabeth Brown commented, “Los Angeles is the biggest West Coast design hub and so it was the natural next step for Viyet as we seek to further expand our merchandise selection and community of design-savvy consignors and buyers.”

To facilitate the company’s consignment services on the West Coast, Viyet has a team of expert curators based in Los Angeles. The curator team ensures all clients receive a white-glove selling experience, which includes physical evaluation of each piece, photography, and coordination of pickup and delivery to the buyer. At launch, Viyet will release an exclusive selection of approximately 500 items consigned (https://viyet.com/featured/la-collection.html) by top Los Angeles showrooms, interior designers, and individuals.

Since launching in New York in 2013, Viyet has partnered with leading interior designers to curate tastemaker collections inspired by their portfolios, while providing these designers (and their clients) a simple platform to sell their own inventory. In Los Angeles, Viyet tapped the expertise of local designers to feature their work on the viyet.com homepage and select their favorite pieces from Viyet’s soon-to-be released LA merchandise.  Among others, Joe Lucas (http://pages.viyet.com/joe-lucas/), Betsy Burnham & Max Humphrey, Trip Haenisch, Ross Cassidy, and Molly Luetkemeyer will feature their picks on the Viyet website through the month of May.

Hillary Thomas, a West-Coast based interior designer, said of Viyet, “This is such a great idea and something that I think is missing from the interior design space.”

Additionally, as part of the Los Angeles launch, viyet.com will spotlight the items from the iconic LA design shop Harbinger (https://viyet.com/showrooms/harbinger-la.html), as well as anonymous high-end consignment clients with unique pieces from LA designer furniture boutiques such as Downtown and Dragonette, and other custom items that will go live on viyet.com on May 4. “The innovative platform and professionalism that the team at Viyet has provided throughout this process has been first-class. I am thrilled to offer my collection to the enthusiastic design community that shops viyet.com nationwide,” commented Joe Lucas, designer and owner of Harbinger.
