The Report ‘Furniture Flagship Stores’ is the result of:

  • interviews with around 50 companies having experience of mono-brand or flagship stores in the furniture sector or in related activities
  • out of these 50 companies, financial analysis of around 30 players
  • excerpts from CSIL Report Smart and Fast Cities: forecasting furniture demand to 2020
  • desk research, processing and conclusions.

The Executive Report section of the study (around 10 pages), offers highlights on “what a flagship store is”, investments and typical economical ratios, EBITDA for the involved furniture manufacturers, driving forces, useful tips, achievements, strategic alternatives (for example, shop-in-shop or franchising instead of flagship stores).

The second chapter (around 150 pages) shows the main findings of the Top 50 megacities where furniture flagship stores have been opened, together with facts and findings related to around 30 furniture manufacturers and 150 selected stores. Frequent topics are size of the shop, events, kind of product mix, localizations, ownership, involvement in the contract business.

The third chapter shows demographic and macroeconomic indicators for both the “Top 50” locations and the “Next 100” .

Among the analyzed furniture manufacturers:Arper, Bulthaup, Bo Concept, Fritz Hansen, Kartell, Molteni, Natuzzi, Panasonic, Philips, Poliform, Poltrona Frau, Wilkhahn.
